Radiofrequency for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.
Review in Current urology reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a socially disabling disorder that affects a large population of women around the world. Surgical treatments for SUI typically seek to recapitulate the support of the endopelvic fascia and reduce urethral hypermobility or improve urethral compressive forces. Radio-frequency energy is a potent tool for such treatment, as it is in other medical specialties. The development of transurethral approach techniques affords a major advantage because this nonsurgical procedure can be performed in an office setting with the use of an oral sedative and local anesthesia. The data collected to date suggest that radiofrequency treatment of SUI has promising efficacy and entails a minimal risk of adverse events. Further randomized studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess the ultimate role of this procedure in future urology practice.
