Mesh-related chronic infections in silicone-coated polyester suburethral slings.
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 hypothesisdespite claims of equivalence to the tension-free vaginal tape, a variety of suburethral slings have been introduced, with various modifications. Complications in certain synthetic slings and meshes have led to a recent FDA public health notification.
methodswe report the case histories and management of five women with complications following implant of an InFast sling.
resultsfour of the five patients presented with symptom of chronic vaginal discharge, one presenting with irritative voiding symptoms and bladder pain. Resolution of presenting symptoms requires total removal of this silicone-coated polyester mesh, which often requires a combined vaginal-abdominal approach.
conclusionsthe silicone-coated mesh of the AMS InFAST sling, can become a focus for chronic infection forming a sinus tract into the vagina or other viscus, causing symptoms years after its placement.
