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 hypothesized that elevated postvoid residual volume (PVRV) would resolve postoperatively in women with severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and investigated risk factors that might hamper its resolution. Retrospectively, we enrolled 57 patients undergoing surgery for severe POP. All patients had preoperative PVRV > or = 100 ml documented by ultrasound and catheterization. Presurgical voiding difficulty, urodynamic and cystoscopic data, and surgical outcome were analyzed. The incidence of postsurgical elevated PVRV was 15.8% and 3.5% was symptomatic. Patients with postsurgical elevated PVRV had larger preoperative residual volume than those with normal postsurgical PVRV (P = 0.037). By multivariable analysis, concomitant anti-incontinence surgery was the single independent predictor of postsurgical elevated PVRV (odds ratio = 5.38, P = 0.031). A majority of patients with severe POP had their elevated PVRV resolved postoperatively. Although concomitant anti-incontinence surgery increased the risk of developing elevated PVRV after repair, most remained asymptomatic.
