Review in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00827528 (Surgical Treatment of Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse), which is not on this map. Cited by 42 papers.

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.

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

There is significant risk of re-operation after pelvic reconstructive surgery. In an attempt to improve outcome, synthetic materials are increasingly being used to augment pelvic organ prolapse repair despite lack of strong evidence to support their routine use. The use of synthetic mesh to correct apical, anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse is not without complications. This review aims to evaluate the long-term complications of synthetic mesh in pelvic reconstructive surgery.
