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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with core stabilization exercises (CSE) in enhancing the function of the transverse abdominal muscle (TAM) and pelvic floor muscle in postpartum women with pelvic pain.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 205 postpartum women with moderate to severe pelvic pain [visual analog scale (VAS) score ≥ 4] between January 2020 and January 2022. Participants were allocated to either a control group receiving CSE (
resultsBoth groups experienced significant reductions in pelvic pain, with superior outcomes noted in the joint treatment group (
conclusionWhile acupuncture paired with CSE did not greatly surpass CSE alone in all outcomes, it provided enhanced pain relief and similar psychological benefit. These findings suggest a potential role for integrative approaches in managing postpartum pelvic pain, though longer-term studies with more objective measures are needed.
