Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Techniques in Women with Sequels of Gynecologic Cancer: A Systematic Review.
Review in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and hypothesisGynecological cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide and significantly impacts the quality of life of affected women. Pelvic floor physiotherapy emerges as a promising conservative option for comprehensive recovery.
methodsBibliographic searches were conducted in PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect, focusing on publications from the past 10 years. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale and CASPe. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane ROBINS-1 and RoB2 tools. Of the 82 articles identified, 10 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
resultsThe most frequently described technique for treating pelvic floor dysfunctions was muscle training, either alone or in combination with other treatment modalities, demonstrating benefits for sexual function, urinary incontinence (UI), increased muscle strength, and health-related quality of life. Meanwhile, therapy with dilators, either alone or combined with sexual education, was shown to reduce complications related to sexual dysfunctions and psychosexual symptoms.
conclusionsThe findings support the efficacy of pelvic floor physiotherapy in addressing the sequelae of gynecological cancer, contributing to the reduction of physical and psychosexual symptoms and the improvement of quality of life and well-being for affected women.
