Evaluation of safety and efficacy of single-incision mid-urethral short tape procedure (MiniArc™ tape) for stress urinary incontinence under local anaesthesia.
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 1 paper.
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 assess complications and short-term results (3 months and 1 year) from a single-incision mid-urethral tape for stress urinary incontinence.
methodsSeventy-four women underwent single-incision mid-urethral tape under local anaesthesia, 59 of whom completed a 1-year follow-up. Thirty-seven (50%) suffered urodynamic stress urinary incontinence. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire--Short Form (ICIQ-SF) was completed in the context of the case history pre-operatively and post-operatively. The duration of follow-up ranged from 91 to 466 days.
resultsThe use of MiniArc™ tape in our study resulted in the objective cure rate (negative cough stress test) of 74% and 66% at 3 months and 1 year, respectively. Scores with ICIQ-SF questionnaire improved significantly at 3 months and 1 year (p < 0.0001). No major intra-operative complication was reported in our study.
conclusionsDespite the advantage of being done under local anaesthetic, the overall cure rate is 66% at 1 year.
