Preoperative urethral parameters at rest and objective cure following laparoscopic colposuspension.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 hypothesisThe aim of this study is to investigate associations between preoperative resting urethral parameters and objective outcome of laparoscopic colposuspension.
methodsData from 219 stress incontinent women who underwent laparoscopic colposuspension, with leakage at standardized pad test repeated after surgery, were collected. Associations between objective cure and preoperative maximum urethral closure pressure, functional urethral length, and continence area were analyzed using receiving operator characteristics curves. The level for 75% cure for each parameter was identified.
resultsAll parameters were positively associated with cure. Continence area showed the strongest association. No cut-off values for prediction of failure were found. Women having levels equal or higher than the "75% cure level" for all urethral parameters had a cure rate of 88% compared with 55% for women with all parameters lower than this level.
conclusionsA combination of the urethral parameters may be useful for identifying patients with excellent chance for cure after colposuspension. Further studies are needed on continence area.
