Sling and bulking agent placement procedures.
Article in Reviews in urology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sling procedures have been used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence since the early 1900s. Traditional sling procedures are best performed with autologous rectus fascia or fascia lata, and the sling material should penetrate the urogenital diaphragm (perineal membrane) into the retropubic space. Tension-free slings using polypropylene have excellent efficacy and safety data and are applicable in an outpatient setting. They are a good firstline surgical choice. Periurethral bulking agents have application for patients with a relatively immobile bladder neck and in cases of medical compromise or a desire for a simple, office-type treatment.
