Monarc vs TVT-O for the treatment of primary stress incontinence: a randomized study.
Trial report in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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 aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and complications of the Transobturator tape (Monarc) vs the tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) in women with urodynamic stress incontinence. A prospective, randomized study was conducted. One-hundred and twenty patients were included in the study, and 114 of them were available at 12 months follow-up. Sixty-one patients were subjected to the TVT-O procedure and 53 to the Monarc procedure. Subjective and objective cure and improvement rate and complications incidence were assessed. The objective cure rate was 87% for the TVT-O procedure and 90% for the Monarc group. The subjective cure rate was 80% for the TVT-O group and 77% for the Monarc group. The improvement was 13 and 11.5% for the TVT-O and Monarc groups, respectively. There was one accidental injury to the urethra with the Monarc technique. The Monarc technique presents success rates and complications comparable to the TVT-O method at 1 year follow-up.
