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 improvement effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation on postpartum stress urinary incontinence through a meta-analysis, so as to provide a more reliable evidence-based basis for clinical treatment.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in eight databases, including CNKI, WanFang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase, for randomized controlled studies published from the establishment of the database until March 2025. Mean difference (MD), risk ratio (RR), and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to analyze relevant variables.
resultsA total of 12 studies involving 1121 patients were included in this study. The analysis results showed that the combined therapy of TCM and biofeedback electrical stimulation had significant advantages in improving the clinical efficacy of patients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.14-1.26, P < 0.00001). It could effectively reduce the 1-h pad leakage volume (MD -1.82, 95% CI -2.77 to -0.86, P = 0.0002), improve the pelvic floor muscle strength score (MD 0.63, 95% CI 0.47-0.79, P < 0.00001), and reduce the score of the ICI-Q-SF (MD -1.92, 95% CI -2.30 to -1.53, P < 0.00001).
conclusionThe combination of TCM therapy and biofeedback electrical stimulation can effectively reduce the symptoms of patients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence. The results of this study provide important references for the selection of clinical treatment options for postpartum stress urinary incontinence.
