Prolapse and incontinence surgery in older women.
Review in The Journal of urology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03445442 (Different Surgical Techniques Used for Prolapse Repair in Elderly Patient), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
purposePelvic floor disorders including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and fecal incontinence are common problems encountered by the older woman. With the increasing population of older American women urologists and gynecologists can expect to provide evaluation and treatment of these conditions with increasing frequency. These conditions are amenable to medical and surgical therapies. MATERIALS AND
methodsContemporary articles (2003 to the present) that included older women undergoing urogynecological surgery were included in this review. Current data on morbidity, mortality and/or surgical outcomes are presented with evidence based preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative surgical management strategies.
resultsOlder women undergoing pelvic floor surgery can expect operative risks as well as subjective and objective anatomical and quality-of-life outcomes similar to those of younger women.
conclusionsThe decision for surgical intervention for the treatment of pelvic floor disorders should not be based on chronological age alone. Before selecting a specific surgical procedure, all existing pelvic floor defects should be evaluated. Further research is required to understand the impact that surgery for pelvic floor disorders has on anatomical, physiological and functional outcomes in older women.
