Can sex survive pelvic floor surgery?
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 3 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/hypothesisSexual function in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is adversely affected, but data reporting sexual function following surgery are limited. We aimed to determine effect of pelvic reconstructive surgery on sexual function and to evaluate effect of additional continence procedures.
methodsWomen with POP or SUI were assessed using pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) or videocystourethrography. Sexual function was assessed with Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) and sexual domains on prolapse quality of life (P-QoL) questionnaire and King's Health questionnaire. Women were reviewed over 2 years using all these objective and subjective assessments.
resultsIn total, 52 patients were followed up over 2 years. Sexual function measured using GRISS scores and sexual function domain scores of KHQ and P-QoL improved following surgery. A better supported pelvic floor (POP-Q) was associated with significantly improved GRISS scores.
conclusionsThese findings aid in pre-operative counselling of women with POP and SUI about potential improvement in sexual function post-operatively.
