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.

2 · The registry

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 hypothesisThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative transvaginal tape mobilization (TM) in treating urinary retention after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedures.

methodsA 3-0 Vicryl loop was made at the midpoint of the vaginal tape for tension adjustment. If urinary retention occurred postoperatively, TM was applied in the ward under local anesthesia. The TM procedure could be repeated until the patient voided well.

resultsOf the 80 women, five (6.3%) patients who had to void with extreme strain or with urinary retention received TM on postoperative days 1-3. It was successful immediately in four patients, and only one patient required repeated adjustment three times. None of these five patients had recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after tensioning off of the tape. Overall, 67 patients (84%) had been cured of SUI, and 13 (16%) patients had improvement of SUI 3 months after TVT operation.

conclusionTM is efficacious in treating voiding difficulty after the TVT procedure.
