TOT for treatment of stress urinary incontinence: how should we assess its equivalence with TVT?
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 10 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 hypothesisSynthetic mid-urethral slings are currently considered the treatment of choice for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In this study, two types of slings are compared: TVT vs. TOT.
methodsIn a prospective randomized study, 40 patients underwent either TVT (19 patients) or TOT (21 patients). Stress-specific and overall success was evaluated. Perioperative complications were classified according to Clavien's classification.
resultsMean duration of follow-up was 20 months. At last follow-up, stress-specific success rate was 94.6% in TVT vs. 81% in TOT. No significant difference was detected in terms of post-void residual urine, symptom score, and filling and voiding parameters. Thigh pain represented the main complication in the TOT group.
conclusionsBoth TVT and TOT are effective procedures for treatment of SUI. When compared to each other, TOT seems to be inferior to TVT in terms of efficacy, causing less serious complications.
