Effects of behavioral treatment and pelvic floor muscle training on overactive bladder syndrome: a randomized control trial.
Trial report in Brazilian journal of physical therapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 evaluate and compare the effects of behavioral treatment (BT) combined with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) versus BT and PFMT provided in isolation in women with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).
methodsProspective, randomised, and controlled clinical trial with concealed allocation including 110 women with OAB were randomized into three groups: BT+PFMT, BT, and PFMT. The intervention consisted of 3-month program: BT+PFMT group received an educational program with lifestyle modifications, urgency suppression techniques, bladder training, and motivation strategies, combined with PFMT; BT and PFMT groups carried out the isolated interventions described above. The primary outcome was OAB cure defined by OAB-V8 questionnaire score <8 and the absence of episodes of urgency urinary incontinence in the voiding diary. Secondary outcomes were urinary symptoms, pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, outpatient and home adherence to the exercise sets, and subjective cure.
resultsHigher objective cure was observed in the BT+PFMT group compared with isolated PFMT and BT in both per protocol and intention-to-treat analyses. In the per protocol analysis, women receiving BT+PFMT were 5.5 times more likely to achieve objective cure than PFMT (OR 5.5; 95% CI 1.6-18.7) and 4.1 times more likely than BT (OR 4.1; 95% CI 1.3-12.8). For the intention-to-treat analysis considering losses as uncured, BT+PFMT remained more effective than PFMT alone (OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.2-9.5). All groups improved PFM function (power, endurance, fast contractions, p < 0.001 for all), however PFMT and PFMT+BT had better PFM function compared to BT group (p < 0.001 for all).
conclusionsThe combination of BT with PFMT were more effective than isolated therapies in the management of female OAB.
