Use of Surgisis mesh in the management of polypropylene mesh erosion into the vagina.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 and hypothesismesh in pelvic reconstructive surgery is being used increasingly in clinical practice. Complications such as mesh erosion and dyspareunia can cause significant patient morbidity. In cases where vaginal mesh erosions are large or multifocal resulting in inadequate healthy epithelium for repair, this may lead to recurrent mesh erosion or vaginal stenosis.
methodnine patients with synthetic mesh erosion who failed to respond to conservative measures were managed surgically with Surgisis.
resultsthe median time at which patients presented with mesh erosion was 12 weeks. The size of erosion ranged from 1 to 4 cm in diameter. At follow-up, five patients were cured, three still had evidence of mesh erosion although the overall defects were smaller, and one patient required further surgery.
conclusionwith mesh erosion being a troublesome reality following insertion of synthetic mesh repairs, Surgisis may prove to be a useful option in the treatment of large vaginal mesh defects.
