1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the clinical efficacy of integrating three-dimensional (3D) manual pelvic reduction, suspension training, and pelvic belt fixation in the treatment of postpartum pubic symphysis diastasis (PSD).

methodsA total of 136 patients diagnosed with postpartum PSD were randomized into a control group (n = 68) receiving conventional conservative therapy and an intervention group (n = 68) undergoing additional (3D manual pelvic reduction and Redcord suspension training. The primary outcome was pelvic pain assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes included pubic symphysis width (radiographic measurement), functional disability [Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)], quality of life [QoL; 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)], and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)].

resultsPost-intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in VAS scores, pubic symphysis narrowing, ODI reductions, SF-36 domain score, and global PSQI scores (all P < 0.001) compared to the control group.

conclusionThe combined protocol of 3D pelvic reduction, suspension training, and pelvic belt fixation effectively alleviates pain, restores pelvic alignment, enhances functional recovery, and improves QoL in postpartum PSD patients, representing a potentially promising therapeutic strategy for clinical adoption.
