Laser treatment for urinary incontinence in elite female athletes analyzed using a discrete mathematics approach.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Efficient treatment strategies for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in elite female athletes (EFAs) are crucial for their timely return to sports. This study evaluates the effectiveness and potential drawbacks of non-ablative Er: YAG laser therapy combined with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in treating SUI among EFAs. We employ a discrete mathematics analytical approach using network graphs to identify key factors influencing treatment outcomes and to address the challenges of small sample sizes and unknown variables in this population. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in urinary incontinence symptoms and increased return rates to elite sports activities in the laser treatment group compared to the PFMT-only group. The discrete mathematics approach effectively visualizes the complex relationships between variables and supports the development of personalized treatment plans. This study highlights the potential of laser therapy as an effective treatment option for SUI in EFAs while emphasizing the importance of tailored treatment strategies.
