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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the duration of the second stage of labor and recent postpartum pelvic floor injury in primiparous women. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were systematically evaluated by a comprehensive literature review and inclusion criteria. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the duration of the second stage of labor and recent postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction in primiparous women. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Primary outcome measures included pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence (UI), fecal incontinence (FI), postpartum sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor pain, and urinary retention. Results: A total of 13 articles were included, comprising 2,862 researchers: 1,407 in the extension group, and 1,455 in the general group. All studies were randomized controlled trials. There was no significant difference in POP between the extension group and the general group [OR = 1.25, 95% CI (0.99-1.59), Conclusion: The prolongation of the second stage of labor in primiparous parturients is significantly correlated with recent postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary incontinence, pelvic floor pain, and urinary retention. Although no significant differences were observed in pelvic organ prolapse and fecal incontinence, a trend was observed. Postpartum sexual dysfunction did not show a significant correlation with prolonged labor.
