Posterior intravaginal slingplasty: efficacy and complications in a continuous series of 118 cases.
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 hypothesisPosterior intravaginal slingplasty (PIVS) is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to suspend vaginal vault. Our study evaluated efficacy and complications of PIVS at long-term follow-up.
methodsOne hundred eighteen consecutive women underwent PIVS operation for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stage 3 or 4 vaginal cuff prolapse (VCP; 25 patients) or utero-vaginal prolapse (UVP; 93 patients). Apical vaginal wall at stage 0 or 1 was considered as cured.
resultsFollow-up mean duration was 58.6 months (range, 24-84 months). The success rate of PIVS was 96.6%. Some 8.5% mesh erosion (20% in patients with VCP and 5.4% with UVP), 2.5% vaginal-perineal fistula, and 3.4% paravaginal hematoma occurred. Neither erosion nor fistulas occurred with monofilament polypropylene mesh.
conclusionPIVS seems a safe and effective procedure for VCP and UVP. Vaginal erosion was mainly observed in patients with VCP treated with multifilament polypropylene mesh.
