Effectiveness of telehealth pelvic-abdominal mechanics training rehabilitation program for pelvic floor rehabilitation in puerperal women: a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThere are still numerous barriers to the implementation of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), though it has been the first-line treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in puerperal women. The construction of telehealth pelvic floor rehabilitation program that is both fun and accessible is necessary.
aimTo assess the efficacy of telehealth pelvic-abdominal mechanics rehabilitation training program for pelvic floor rehabilitation in puerperal women.
designA randomized controlled trial.
settingHome-based exercise program. POPULATION: Singleton, cephalic primiparous women.
methodsThe 60 participants recruited were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group received a telehealth pelvic-abdominal mechanics training rehabilitation program for 6 weeks, while the control group remained on the routine care. The degree of distress of PFD in puerperal women was assessed at one week postpartum (T1) and 42 days postpartum (T2). The level of knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy towards PFMT were assessed at 2 days postpartum (T0), T1and T2. The degree of inter-recti distance (IRD) was assessed at T0 and T2. Pelvic floor muscle strength was assessed at T2, including modified Oxford muscle strength (MOS) classification and dynamic maximal vaginal pressure values. Statistical analysis methods were chosen based on the type of statistical data, mainly including t-test and two-factor repeated measures ANOVA.
resultsNo adverse outcomes occurred in all participants. After a 6-week intervention, the intervention group had a significantly lower PFDI-20 score than the control group at T2 and exhibited a lesser degree of IRD. At T1 and T2, the simple effect of group was significant, with the intervention group demonstrating higher levels of knowledge and attitude towards PFMT compared to the control group (F=4.427, P=0.040, partial η
conclusionsThis study provided evidence that telehealth pelvic-abdominal mechanics training rehabilitation program can significantly improve the rehabilitation effect of puerperal women. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: A pelvic-abdominal mechanics training rehabilitation program during the puerperium is safe and effective. Telemedicine is an extremely recommended means of pelvic floor rehabilitation during the puerperium.
