1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The role of urodynamics in the routine preoperative evaluation of women with stress urinary incontinence is controversial. The introduction of tension-free mid-urethral sling procedures has created a new paradigm in surgical management. The capability of performing these procedures on an ambulatory basis has created more uncertainty about the use of urodynamic testing. The long-term results of these procedures in patients with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency, mixed incontinence, and voiding dysfunction are not clearly known. This article reviews the mechanism of action and results of tension-free slings and proposes a rational role for urodynamic testing in patients considered for these procedures.
