Predictors of improved overactive bladder symptoms after transvaginal mesh repair for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: predictors of improved OAB after POP repair.
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.
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 identify the predictors of improved overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms after transvaginal mesh repair.
methodsEighty women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stage II to IV reporting OAB symptoms were scheduled for transvaginal mesh procedures. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included a bladder diary, urodynamics, and a personal interview about urinary symptoms.
resultsSixty-three (78.8%) women experienced improvement of OAB symptoms (Improvement group), and 17 (21.2%) women remained unchanged or worsened (Persistence group) postoperatively. A univariate analysis of patients' characteristics showed no difference between two groups regarding parity, diabetes, hypertension, prolapse status, preoperative urodynamic parameters, and urinary symptoms (P > 0.05). However, the age (P = 0.042) and preoperative detrusor overactivity (DO) (P = 0.03) were two significant predictors of postoperative OAB improvement.
conclusionsWomen with POP may experience improvement of their OAB symptoms after transvaginal mesh repair. Both age and DO were two predictors in our univariate analysis, and the latter was the only significant predictor of symptom relief after adjusting age factor.
