The tension-free vaginal tape in women with a non-hypermobile urethra and low maximum urethral closure pressure.
Article in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 objective of this study was to estimate the cure rate and to identify risk factors that predict failure of the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a non-hypermobile urethra, and low maximum urethral closure pressure. Thirty-six women with SUI, a non-hypermobile urethra (straining urethral angle<or=35 degrees), and low maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP<or=25 cm H2O) underwent a TVT. Cure was defined as resolution of subjective SUI symptoms and a negative cough stress test, which were measured after 4, 12, 18, and 24 months. Patient characteristics were compared and receiver-operator curves were used to identify risk factors for failure. The mean age was 71 years, and mean follow-up was 20.9 months. The overall cure rate was 78%. Risk factors for failure of the TVT were a straining urethral angle<or=20 degrees (cure rate 50%, odds ratio 7.7, p=0.02) and a MUCP<or=15 cm H2O (cure rate 60%, odds ratio 6.3, p=0.03). For women with both risk factors, the cure rate was only 17% (p<0.001). No other risk factors were identified. The TVT has moderate success (50-60%) for women with SUI and one risk factor (a straining urethral angle<or=20 degrees or a MVCP<or=15 cm H2O), but has poor success (17%) when both risk factors are present.
