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

introductionThe Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire, IUGA Revised (PISQ-IR) is a validated tool for assessing sexual health in women with pelvic floor disorders, divided into sections for sexually active (SA) and not sexually active (NSA) women. Although widely used, it has not yet been implemented in Denmark. This study aims to translate and validate the Danish translation of PISQ-IR.

methodsFollowing the IUGA PISQ-IR Translation Protocol, the Danish version was approved and distributed digitally to women with pelvic floor disorders recruited from four hospitals in Denmark. Participants completed PISQ-IR, PFDI-20, PFIQ-7, and ICIQ-UI questionnaires both at baseline and 10-days retest. Internal reliability, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity were tested, followed by confirmatory (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA).

resultsOf 305 invited women, 201 (66%) completed the PISQ-IR; 82 (NSA) and 119 (SA). In general, internal reliability was good (Cronbach's alpha > 0.8). Test-retest reliability was acceptable (ICC 0.59-0.89 NSA; 0.54-0.83 SA). Criterion validity was better in the SA group but below standard. CFA showed acceptable factor loadings but poor fit indices (RMSEA 0.177 NSA, 0.096 SA; TLI 0.660 NSA, 0.840 SA). EFA revealed a three-factor solution (NSA) and two-factor solution (SA), with high uniqueness in several items, correlating with the low fit in the CFA.

conclusionsThe Danish PISQ-IR showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, supporting its use in Denmark. However, low fit indices and factor loadings in several items suggest the need for further revision.
