Transobturator adjustable tape for severe stress urinary incontinence and stress urinary incontinence with voiding dysfunction.
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 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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 hypothesisThis prospective multicenter study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an adjustable mid-urethral sling (MUS) using transobturator adjustable tape (TOA) in women with severe stress urinary incontinence or combined stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and voiding dysfunction (VD).
methodsOne day after placement of TOA, the tension was adjusted. Six months after surgery, changes in several questionnaires and uroflowmetry (UFM) parameters were evaluated.
resultsAmong the 65 women enrolled in the study, 27 (41.5%) required postoperative tension readjustments. At 6 months, the complete cure rate of SUI was 84.4%, and patient satisfaction with the operation was 86.2%. There was improvement in the total scores on several questionnaires. There were no significant changes in postoperative UFM parameters.
conclusionOur results support the use of TOA as an effective modality for the treatment of SUI in women at risk for persistent postoperative SUI or obstructive symptoms.
