Trocarless system for mesh attachment in pelvic organ prolapse repair--1-year evaluation.
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 7 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 hypothesisEndoFast Reliant system is a novel technology for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair that attaches mesh directly with metal fasteners.
methodsThis was a prospective multicenter study in 20 women who underwent vaginal POP repair to evaluate safety and efficacy. The patients were followed for 12 months, using POP-Q measures, questionnaires on symptoms (PFDI), and sexual function (FSFI).
resultsNo intraoperative complications occurred. Prolapse has been anatomically resolved (< stage 2) in 85% at 1-year follow-up (17/20 patients). Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) scores showed significant improvement for 1 year in symptoms related to prolapse (4.1-0.7, p < 0.001) and bladder (1.4-0.7, p = 0.06) but not to rectum. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores did not change significantly. One case of mesh exposure was found (5%) and treated conservatively. No migration of fasteners was observed on X-ray.
conclusionsThe EndoFast Reliant system was found safe and efficacious. Future studies are needed to evaluate its advantages over techniques using trocars.
