Thoughts on midurethral synthetic slings.
Review in Current urology reports, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Since the early 1900s, there have been many attempts to correct stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Over the years, it became accepted that the most effective way to correct SUI involved a procedure that supports the urethra. This simple premise spurred major innovations in the 1970s and 1980s by Shlomo Raz and Tom Stamey, many of which proved difficult to reproduce and were not universally accepted. In the mid-1990s, however, Ulf Ulmsten and Peter Petros revolutionized treatment of SUI, using a synthetic sling at the midurethra in a tension-free fashion. The urologic and urogynecologic world forever changed. In the last decade, further innovations have been based on these principles. There are currently three main types of synthetic sling procedures, including the retro-pubic synthetic sling, the obturator synthetic sling, and the single-incision synthetic sling.
