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

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent condition characterized by involuntary urine leakage during physical activities. This condition can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Treatment options for SUI include behavioral therapy, medication, and surgery. However, non-pharmacological methods such as low-level laser therapy (LLT) have demonstrated the potential to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve pelvic floor muscle function in various pelvic floor disorders. Despite these benefits, the effectiveness of combined transvaginal and intra-bladder LLT for managing SUI has not been extensively studied. This case series aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel regimen using concurrent transvaginal and intra-bladder LLT for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. The results appear promising, and further investigation is recommended. Trial Registration: This clinical trial was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) under the registration number IRCT20231203060255N2, on 30 June 2024 (retrospectively registered).
