Short-term outcomes with the Ajust™ system: a new single incision sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Trial report 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 20 papers, 3 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 hypothesisTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of the minimally invasive Ajust™ system in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
methodsThis was a prospective multicentre study. All patients with primary urodynamic stress urinary incontinence were prospectively selected to receive the Ajust™ procedure. The International Consultation on Incontinence-Short Form (ICI-SF), Women Irritative Prostate Symptoms Score (W-IPSS), PGI-S, and PGI-I questionnaires were used to evaluate the impact of incontinence and voiding dysfunction on QoL and to measure patient's perception of incontinence severity and improvement.
resultsFrom January 2009 to October 2009, 111 consecutive subjects were enrolled in the study. At 6 months, 102 were available for outcomes analysis. The subjective and objective cure rates were 85.7% and 91.4%, respectively. The ICI-SF and W-IPSS questionnaires showed a statistical significant improvement in symptom scores.
conclusionsIn the short-term follow-up, the Ajust™ system was effective in restoring continence in more than 85% of subjects with a highly significant improvement in QoL.
