Measurement and Interpretation of Intra-Abdominal Pressure During Physical Activity: A Scoping 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. It is linked to trial NCT07727460 (The Reliability of Pelvic Floor Morphometry Measured From Ultrasound Images Acquired at Rest and During Weightlifting Tasks.), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisIntra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is frequently discussed as a main contributor to pelvic floor loading during physical activities; however, the measurement of IAP in this context is complex. The aim of this scoping review was to synthesize how IAP has been measured, inferred, and interpreted during physical activities, summarizing sensor types, placement, activity contexts, reported values, measurement properties, and methodological limitations.
methodsStructured searches were conducted in Medline, Embase, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed studies reporting IAP during physical activities or exercise (final search: 30 January 2025).
resultsOf the 4026 articles retrieved, 52 met the inclusion criteria. IAP was measured using microtip catheters, ingestible capsules, piezoelectric sensors, and air- or fluid-filled balloons placed in the stomach, esophagus, rectum, vagina, and bladder. Sensor measurement properties were rarely described and all sensors lacked validation for use during dynamic activities. Most studies included small samples (28 studies with < 20 participants) and only females (n = 25) or only males (n = 16), limiting generalizability. Reported pressure outcomes were highly variable, and, although consistently referred to as IAP, reflect the context-specific combination of forces (e.g., IAP, organ weight, and acceleration) acting on the sensor in a given activity.
conclusionDuring physical activities, pressures recorded via body cavity sensors depend on sensor type, placement, and gravitational and acceleration loads as well as IAP. During physical activity, some sensors are prone to recording artifacts. Measurement validation and greater precision in reporting are essential to advance our understanding of pelvic floor loading during physical activities.
