Postoperative urinary retention following vaginal mesh procedures for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.
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 9 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 hypothesisThe objective of the study was to assess vaginal mesh procedures and patient characteristics that are associated with postoperative urinary retention (PUR) following pelvic reconstructive surgery.
methodsThe charts of 142 patients who underwent transvaginal reconstructive surgery with mesh were included in the analysis. Primary outcome was the incidence of PUR following surgery with mesh. Patients were grouped according to discharge from the hospital with or without a catheter based on a standardized voiding trial.
resultsForty-eight patients (34%) developed PUR after surgery. Of those, 30 patients (62.5%) had a combined anterior and posterior repair (p = 0.033). Mean preoperative anterior stage prolapse for patients with PUR compared with no PUR was 2.31 vs. 1.80 (p = 0.002). There was a greater association of PUR among patients with concomitant retropubic slings compared with transobturator slings (OR = 3.6, 95% confidence interval = 1.3-9.8).
conclusionsA higher preoperative anterior stage prolapse, combined anterior and posterior compartment repairs, and retropubic sling procedures appear to be associated with PUR.
