1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We present 1-year results obtained with Reemex for the cure of intrinsic sphincter deficiencies (ISDs). We recruited all patients with primary cases of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to an ISD (Valsalva leak-point pressure less than 60 cm or maximal urethral closure pressure less than 20 cm) who did not receive previous surgery. Thirty-eight patients were operated on. Postoperative pain was 3 (range, 1-5, visual analogue scale) at 24 h from surgery. Immediate regulation (the day after surgery) was necessary in three of 38 patients (7.9%), two for obstructive voiding difficulties and one for incontinence. Late regulation was necessary in three of 38 patients (7.9%), two for obstructive voiding difficulties (after 6 months) and one for incontinence (1 year). Symptoms resolved after the sling adjustment. Our results suggest that sling adjustments resolve postoperative failures and maintain the success rate of the Reemex system even in the midterm.
