Prospective randomized trial comparing synthetic vs biological out-in transobturator tape: a mean 3-year follow-up study.
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 7 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 aim of this study was to prospectively and randomly compare the outcome of surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using the same outside-inside transobturator technique with biological (PelviLaceTO) or synthetic (UretexTO) material sling, evaluating if the biological material can prevent vaginal erosion retaining the "cure rate" of this surgical technique.
methodsSeventy patients with SUI were selected, randomly assigned to either UretexTO (n = 34) or PelviLaceTO (n = 36), and underwent the same surgery.
resultsThere is no significant difference between two study arms with regard to objective and subjective cure rates and quality of life. In both groups we had an overlap cure rate (UretexTO group 88.2% vs PelviLaceTO group 88.8%) at mean 3 years follow-up. It found no perioperative complications nor vaginal erosions.
conclusionsUretexTO and PelviLaceTO are two similarly safe and efficient slings in the management of SUI, with a good patient satisfaction and without any complications.
