Voiding dysfunction after the tension-free vaginal tape procedure.
Review in Current urology reports, 2005. 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
Throughout the past decade, pubovaginal slings have become the most widely used surgical procedure for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. However, despite its widespread use and success rates, it is associated with a significant complication rate. In response to the high complication rate, the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) was introduced. Based on the integral theory that stress urinary incontinence results from defective urethral support, the TVT consists of a loosely placed piece of prolene mesh under the urethra to recreate the pubourethral ligament. However, despite its tension-free nature, studies have shown that the TVT causes postoperative voiding dysfunction in 2.8% to 14% of patients. Radiologic and urodynamic studies suggest that postoperative voiding dysfunction is related to a change in outflow resistance during voiding, not to a change in the bladder neck positioning at rest. Although voiding dysfunction appears to be less after TVT than colposuspensions and the early pubovaginal slings, it does exist and patients should be warned of the potential complication.
