What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common gynecological problem. Several risk factors have been identified to contribute to the main pathophysiological mechanism of prolapse development. However, the POP data in the Eastern Mediterranean region, including Jordan, are limited, and the risk factors associated with POP were mainly obesity and high number of vaginal deliveries. Since Jordan has a high prevalence of obesity, parity, and type 2 diabetes, the present study aimed primarily to identify the modifiable and non-modifiable factors associated with POP in Jordanian women, and secondly, to evaluate the impact of POP stages on their quality of life. Methods: This study was an age-matched case-control study conducted at the gynecology outpatient clinics at Jordan University Hospital from March 1, 2022, to December 15, 2022. The POP quantification system was used as a standardized method to identify the cases and controls. Sociodemographic, obstetrics, and gynecological characteristics were obtained and correlated with POP. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the independent predictive factors of prolapse occurrence. The Prolapse Quality of Life questionnaire was employed to assess the impact of prolapse across the stages of prolapse. Results: One hundred fifty cases and 150 controls were enrolled in this study, with a median age of 44.5 years. Cystocele and rectocele were the most identified types of prolapse. Nearly 65% of women reported that they had an episiotomy during their deliveries, and 14% reported that there was a family history of prolapse. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that obesity (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI 1.07-5.84, p = 0.03), episiotomy (AOR = 2.88, 95% CI 1.41-5.89, p = 0.004) and family history of prolapse (AOR = 3.45, 95% CI 1.3-9.2, p = 0.013) were associated with POP. Impairment in the quality of life was significantly higher across prolapse severity stages. Conclusion: In Jordan, obesity, episiotomy, and a family history were associated with POP. Quality of life for women with POP was notably impaired as the severity of the prolapse increased.
