Improvement of Urinary Retention Symptoms After Vaginal Delivery with Electroacupuncture.
Article in Medical acupuncture, 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
Background: Post-partum urinary retention (PPUR) is defined as the inability to urinate spontaneously after 6 h postpartum with residual urine ≥200 mL. Management of PPUR by inserting a urinary catheter. Electroacupuncture (EA) increased detrusor contractions, encouraged micturition, and reduced residual volume with minimal side effects. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of EA in accelerating micturition and reducing residual urine in patients with PPUR. Methods: This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial. This study was performed on 60 subjects who presented with residual urine volume between 500 mL and 1000 mL 6 h after delivery (measured with a female catheter) and were divided into EA ( Results: The first spontaneous micturition in the EA group was faster (average time to first spontaneous micturition in the EA group occurred in 102.4 (±63.6) min and spontaneous micturition in the sham group occurred in 191.8 (±97.5) min). This result was statistically significant with Conclusion: EA may accelerate spontaneous micturition and reduce residual urine volume in patients with PPUR.
