Pregnancy and delivery after mid-urethral sling procedures for stress urinary incontinence: case reports and a review of literature.
Article 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, 2 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
In this article, the effects of pregnancy and delivery on the development of stress urinary incontinence are described with special emphasis on the obstetrical management in women who wish to become pregnant or are pregnant after a preceding mid-urethral sling procedure. Three case histories and a review of literature are presented. Pregnancy after a preceding incontinence operation is rare and makes it quite difficult to formulate guidelines about delivery when a pregnancy occurs. The best advice is to postpone incontinence surgery until after the last pregnancy. There is evidence that an elective caesarean delivery protects against stress urinary incontinence in case of pregnancy after bladder neck suspension. For mid-urethral sling procedures, this evidence is not available. The presented case reports do not clearly demonstrate that caesarean delivery is necessary in case of pregnancy and delivery after a mid-urethral sling procedure. Furthermore, a second mid-urethral sling operation is a minor procedure compared to a caesarean section, and there is evidence that a second mid-urethral sling operation has the same success rate as the first procedure.
