Surgical treatment of urinary stress incontinence using a method for postoperative adjustment of sling tension (Remeex System).
Article in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We present a technique that allows postoperative adjustment of the sling tension in female patients with urinary stress incontinence (USI). Twenty-one female patients with urodynamically proven USI were prospectively evaluated. Subjective and objective evaluation was made preoperatively, 6 months postoperatively and yearly thereafter. Mean age was 63.5; mean parity was 2.3. All patients were postmenopausal and 13 (62%) had had previous surgery for USI. The operating time was 32 minutes (range 25-45). At a mean follow-up of 12 months (6-25), 19 patients (90.5%) were very satisfied. Two patients (9.5%) were considered failures but subjectively were satisfied and refused readjustment. One patient (4.7%) developed 'de novo' detrusor instability. In conclusion, this is a sling procedure for patients with previous failed surgery and those with intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) with the peculiarity that the sling tension can be regulated postoperatively. The readjustment can be made in the office, months or even years after the procedure.
