Long-term outcomes of TVT and IVS operations for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence: monofilament vs. multifilament polypropylene tape.

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
introduction and hypothesisWe compared cure rates of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) with intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) and evaluated changes in cure rates over time.
methodsOne hundred three underwent TVT and 213 underwent IVS. Follow-ups were done at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years.
resultsThe following results were found: objective cure for TVT 98-95-94% vs. IVS 86-86-80% (p < 0.03); subjective cure for TVT 82-79-74% vs. IVS 79-81-71% (NS). In IVS, a significant decline in subjective cure took place. Vaginal erosions were found in 11.8% of women in the IVS group and none in the TVT group.
conclusionsTVT is an effective and stable treatment, whereas IVS has a significant inferior objective cure rate, and a significant decline in subjective cure rate occurred over time. A high rate of vaginal erosions was found in the IVS group. We cannot recommend the use of multifilament polypropylene tape (IVS) for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
