Complications and short-term results of two different transobturator techniques for surgical treatment of women with urinary 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 21 papers, 3 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 the analysis of perioperative complications in women who were randomly assigned to receive two different techniques for the treatment of stress and mixed urinary incontinence. Our study included 120 women in whom we performed either TVT-O or Monarc procedure in local anesthesia. The duration of the operation and its likely complications were followed up. The success of treatment was evaluated after 3 months. Surgical time was identical for both procedures (13 min). The prevalence of vaginal wall perforation and laceration was higher during the outside-in procedure. The inside-out procedure was more painful (p < 0.000), the pain persisted significantly longer (21.6 vs 7.5 days; p = 0.03) and was more intense after discharge in these patients. In conclusion, inside-out and outside-in procedures are equally successful methods for the treatment of urinary incontinence at 4 months, however, inside-out procedure appears to be more painful.
