Delayed urethral erosion after tension-free vaginal tape.
Article in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Urethral erosions have been reported with various sling materials placed by means of various techniques. The patient often presents in the immediate postoperative period, although late presentations have been described. The diagnosis is made on cystoscopy, and mesh excision with urethral reconstruction is advocated. We present the cases of two patients with urethral erosion after mid-urethral polypropylene sling who presented 3 months after surgery with urethral pain, mid-urethral blockage and symptoms of bladder dysfunction. Urethroscopy revealed the mesh bridging the lumen of the urethra. Trans-vaginal mesh excision and layered urethral reconstruction was curative in both patients.
