The multifilament polypropylene tape erosion trouble: tape structure vs surgical technique. Which one is the cause?
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 10 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 study was designed to clarify whether the structure of multifilament tape or the surgical technique is associated with vaginal erosions. Patients were randomized into two groups: in group 1, formed from the patients who were operated with the technique "setting the tape loosely leaving a scissor tip gap between the tape and the urethra," and in group 2, formed from the patients who were operated with the technique "setting the tape actually touched the urethra and covering the tape by the adjacent pubocervicovaginal fascia with the aid of a suture." After 4-year follow-up, it was found that the erosion rate was very high in group 1 (13.6%). We conclude that the high erosion rate seen in multifilament tapes is associated with the surgical technique that is used, not the structure of the multifilament tape.
