Combined anterior trans-obturator mesh and sacrospinous ligament fixation in women with severe prolapse--a case series of 30 months follow-up.

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 study the efficacy and safety of performing anterior mesh (Perigee) with vaginal reconstructive surgeries (sacrospinous ligament fixation) for treatment of advanced prolapse.
methodsOne hundred twenty-eight patients, POP-Q stage III (n = 85) or IV (n = 43), underwent surgery. The objective cure was defined as less than stage 2 prolapse. Introital ultrasonography was used for mesh morphological evaluation.
resultsPost-operative data were available for 120 patients. At 30 months, the objective cure was 91.8%. The subjective cure was 93.3% on POPDI-6 feedback. No apical and anterior recurrence was observed. Surgical complications were minor. Five cases (4.1%) of mesh extrusion was observed. Mesh shortening, shrinkage, and thickening was also observed.
conclusionThe combination of anterior vaginal mesh and vaginal reconstructive surgery appears to be a safe and effective in restoring the anatomy and achieving favorable pelvic function. The anterior mesh deployed seems to cover a lesser area than anticipated. A longer period of follow-up is necessary to confirm its efficacy.
