Transvaginal polypropylene mesh versus sacrospinous ligament fixation for the treatment of uterine prolapse: 1-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report 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 15 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
introduction and hypothesisThe objective of this study was to compare the anatomical and quality of life outcomes of a posterior polypropylene mesh kit versus sacrospinous ligament fixation at the time of hysterectomy for the treatment of uterine prolapse.
methodsThirty-two women aged 50 to 75 years with stage III or IV (pelvic organ prolapse quantification system/International Continence Society) uterine prolapse were randomized into two groups (group 1: polypropylene mesh, Nazca R, Promedon, Cordoba, Argentina; group 2: sacrospinous ligament fixation).
resultsAt 12-month follow-ups, we observed the same anatomical results in both groups. The median operating time, intraoperative blood loss, and perioperative complications were also equal in both groups. There were five cases (35.71%) of mesh erosion, and prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall (cystocele) occurred in 50% of the patients.
conclusionsSimilar anatomical and quality of life outcomes were observed with polypropylene mesh and sacrospinous ligament fixation for the treatment of uterine prolapse. Complication rate was higher in the mesh group.
