Foreign body reaction in vaginally eroded and noneroded polypropylene suburethral slings in the female: a case series.
Article 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. Cited by 7 papers.
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 hypothesisAim of this study was to investigate the pattern of the foreign body reaction of macroporous polypropylene mesh (MPPM) used in females for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and to compare this pattern between eroded and noneroded tapes.
methodsTen explanted suburethral slings, five eroded and five noneroded, were examined immunohistochemically under light microscopy; the tissue reaction was compared between eroded and noneroded materials.
resultsEroded material showed a significantly higher accumulation of macrophages around the filaments of the mesh.
conclusionsThis is the first study comparing reaction around eroded and noneroded MPPMs and indicates a more intense tissue reaction around eroded mesh, when compared to noneroded material. More studies are needed to prove whether the detected foreign body reaction was the actual trigger for the erosion.
