The aetiology of prolapse.
Review 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 29 papers, 5 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
Female pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition that is said to be multifactorial in aetiology. While a number of risk factors such as vaginal childbirth, obesity and ageing are commonly accepted, it is not clear as to how these risk factors affect the development of prolapse-that is, which pathophysiologic mechanisms are responsible for disease manifestation. Measures used in epidemiological studies, such as presentation for surgical treatment, are generally confounded by other conditions, and evidence is lacking for some of the most frequently quoted aetiological factors. In this paper, I will try to summarise the available evidence in order to separate hearsay and hypothesis from available research findings and to suggest a way forward for diagnosis and treatment.
