Retrospective case modelling to assess the impact of early intervention for voiding dysfunction after retropubic tape. When is it best to intervene?
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 4 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 hypothesisThis study is a retrospective modelling of early intervention for voiding difficulties (VD) after retropubic tape insertion.
methodsChart review assessing Trial Without Catheter (TWOC) on day 2 and day 9 and long-term VD. Number needed to treat (NNT) analysis performed for presumed intervention on days 2 and 9.
resultsThirty seven (22%) of 171 patients failed TWOC on day 2, 20 (12%) on day 9. Ten (6%) had VD at 6 months. Five elected to have the tape cut. One had recurrence of SUI. NNT was 7.4:1 on day 2 and 4:1 on day 9 to avoid per tapes being cut at 6 months. Early intervention would potentially lead to six and three additional failures, respectively, assuming 80% continence. This represents over 100 per annum in the United Kingdom.
conclusionsThe majority of VD after retropubic tape insertion will resolve. Early intervention may lead to additional failures.
