Clinical and ultrasonographic correlations following three surgical anti-incontinence procedures (TOT, TVT and TVT-O).
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 12 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
The aim of this study was to compare ultrasonographic findings on tape position, angulation and mobility following three surgical anti-incontinence procedures (trans-obturator tape (TOT), tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O)) and to correlate these data with clinical signs of cures and failures and de novo voiding disorders. In this prospective study, vesicourethral static and dynamic analysis of 81 patients (30 TOT, 28 TVT, 23 TVT-O) were evaluated using introital ultrasonography. Width, position and appearance of the tape were similar in all three groups, i.e. like a "V" at rest, round angulation on Valsalva and closed angulation at maximum retaining. Moreover, closer angulation on Valsalva was associated with voiding disorders. Closer angulation at retaining was associated with de novo urge incontinence. Larger angulation of the tape at rest appeared to be significantly associated with recurrent stress incontinence. Ultrasonography could a be useful tool assessing anti-incontinence procedures and investigating post-operative voiding disorders.
