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 surgical management of multi-compartment prolapse is challenging and often requires a combination of techniques. This study evaluates anterior vaginal mesh repair, sacrospinous hysteropexy and posterior fascial plication in women with anterior compartment dominated uterovaginal prolapse.

methodsConsecutive women who underwent the aforementioned surgery were prospectively evaluated. Main outcome measures included objective (pelvic organ prolapse quantification stage <2) and subjective success rates, patient satisfaction, functional outcomes and complications.

resultsOne hundred and seventeen women were eligible, and 100 agreed to participate. At 12 months, objective success rate at the anterior compartment was 87% and at all compartments, 75%. Subjective success was 84%, and mean patient satisfaction was 8.5/10. There were no stage 3 or 4 recurrences at any site.

conclusionsThe combination of anterior vaginal mesh, sacrospinous hysteropexy and posterior fascial plication is reasonably effective in restoring the anatomy and achieving favourable bladder, bowel and sexual function.
