Article in International urogynecology journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01384084 (URINARY INCONTINENCE AND URO-GENITAL PROLAPSE), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract

introduction and hypothesisThe study aims to report an extended follow-up of our case series of sacrohysteropexy for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

methodsFifty-five patients with symptomatic POP underwent uterus sparing surgery. All patients were followed up for 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and then annually. Objective success was defined as a well-supported cervix and no vaginal prolapse stage ≥ 2. Subjective success was no prolapse-related symptoms or voiding disorder.

resultsThe mean follow-up was 60 ± 34 months. Anterior compartment prolapse (cystocele) stage ≥ 2 was present in four out of 52 patients (7.7%), while posterior compartment prolapse (rectocele) stage ≥ 2 was present in three (5.7%). Voiding symptoms were resolved in 42 out of 45 patients (93.4%) and storage symptoms in 30 out of 36 (83.3%); one patient reported de novo urgency. Sexual activity was maintained in 28 out of 29 patients (95.5%). Four patients showed de novo stress urinary incontinence.

conclusionOur findings support the use of uterus preservation, with significative objective and subjective outcomes in treating POP.
