Article 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 hypothesisThis study aimed to examine the effects of tele-Pilates exercise on menopausal symptoms, quality of life, depression, and anxiety levels in postmenopausal women.
methodsForty postmenopausal women were separated into two groups: as tele-Pilates and the control group. Pilates exercises were performed 2 days a week for 6 weeks via online. Participants were assessed with the Menopause Rating Scale, Menopausal Quality of Life Scale, Beck Depression Scale, and State and Trait Anxiety Inventory.
resultsFrom baseline to week 6, the tele-Pilates group improved more than the control group. Menopausal symptoms decreased, including MRS somatic (Δtele - Δcontrol -3.30; 95% CI -4.23 to -2.38; p < 0.001), MRS psychological (-2.52; 95% CI -3.78 to -1.27; p = 0.0009) and MRS total (-6.09; 95% CI -8.29 to -3.89; p < 0.001), while MRS urogenital did not differ between groups (0.00; p = 1.000). Quality of life improved more with tele-Pilates, including MENQOL vasomotor (-2.52; 95% CI -3.11 to -1.93; p < 0.001), MENQOL psychosocial (-1.52; 95% CI -2.34 to -0.71; p = 0.0018), MENQOL physical (-9.15; 95% CI -11.82 to -6.47; p < 0.001), and MENQOL total (-13.29; 95% CI -17.02 to -9.57; p < 0.001); MENQOL sexual showed no between-group difference (-0.11; p = 0.151). Tele-Pilates also reduced state anxiety (STAI-I -2.79; 95% CI -3.74 to -1.84; p < 0.001) and depressive symptoms (BDS -2.89; 95% CI -5.17 to -0.62; p = 0.023), whereas trait anxiety did not differ (STAI-II -1.32; p = 0.077).
conclusionsTele-Pilates exercises improved somatic and psychological menopausal symptoms, overall quality of life, depression and state anxiety in postmenopausal women, but had no significant effect on urogenital symptoms or sexual quality of life.
