Effects of an innovative educational program on female athletes' knowledge and habits related to pelvic floor care: a quasi-experimental study.

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
The physical demands of sports require female athletes to be aware of pelvic floor (PF) care. However, knowledge about PF dysfunctions and unhealthy habits remains insufficient in sports populations. Innovative and specific educational strategies are needed to engage female athletes. This study evaluated the effects of an online educational program on PF knowledge and care habits in female athletes. A three-session online program with practical content and 3D models was implemented. Of the 130 registered athletes (35.9 ± 11.2 years old), 70 fully attended (FA), 23 partially attended (PA), and 37 did not attend (NA). Before and 4 weeks after the program, participants completed a questionnaire assessing: (1) demographics and sports data; (2) PF symptomatology; (3) knowledge of urinary incontinence (UI), female sexual dysfunction (FSD), ano-rectal incontinence (ARI), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP); and (4) habits during micturition, defecation, and sports practice. FA and PA athletes rated the utility of the program (0-10 scale). After the program, FA athletes showed improved knowledge of UI (
