Trial reportInternational urogynecology journal2010
Body mass index does not influence the outcome of anti-incontinence surgery among women whereas menopausal status and ageing do: a randomised 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 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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 hypothesisA few series comparing the clinical efficacy of midurethral slings in obese and postmenopausal patients are available. The aim of the study was to assess clinical efficacy of suburethral tape operations for the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) stratified by obesity, menopause and ageing.
methodsFive hundred thirty-seven patients underwent either retropubic or transobturator sling procedure. Patients were randomly allocated into two study groups in a ratio of 1:1. After 18 months, 398 women were available for a follow-up efficacy evaluation.
resultsThe clinical effectiveness of surgical SUI treatment did not depend on patients' body mass index (BMI) and type of midurethral sling, but menopausal status and ageing significantly influenced the outcome of the surgery.
conclusionsWe found that BMI does not influence the clinical effectiveness of SUI treatment, whereas both menopause and ageing had a detrimental influence on the final outcome of the surgery.
