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
objectiveTo explore the clinical application of acupuncture combined with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in treating postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) based on patient data.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 97 PSUI patients treated at the Second People's Hospital of Nantong from July 2021 to June 2023. Patients voluntarily chose between the two treatment groups: PFMT alone or the combination of acupuncture and PFMT. Multiple indicators, including pad test positive rate, urinary scores, leakage volume, incontinence degree, treatment effectiveness, pelvic floor muscle strength, and sexual quality of life, were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe pad test positive rate was significantly lower in the combined treatment group (7.69%) than in the PFMT group (28.89%) (
conclusionAcupuncture combined with PFMT demonstrated significantly superior outcomes to PFMT alone for PSUI treatment, with significant improvements in incontinence symptoms, psychological status, muscle strength, and quality of sexual life. Findings support the clinical adoption of this combined strategy for PSUI.
