A safety and quality of life analysis of intravaginal slingplasty in female stress incontinence: a prospective, open label, multicenter, and observational study.
Trial report 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 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
This prospective, open label, multicenter, and observational study was performed to determine the efficacy, safety, and the impact of this procedure on the current quality of life (QOL). One hundred three women underwent the intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) procedure. The postoperative evaluation consisted of clinical examination, Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) questionnaire, 3-day consecutive frequency volume chart, free flowmetry, and measurement of post void residual. At 12 months, 83 patients have completed follow-up and are included in this analysis. Patient assessment of continence revealed 89.2% (74/83) cure rate. During follow-up period, one patient (1.2%) has presented with vaginal erosion of the sling material. The I-QOL showed significant improvement in total and three subscale scores at 12 months of follow-up period. This study demonstrated that the IVS procedure provides a safe and effective means for the treatment of female stress incontinence and improvement of QOL.
