1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThis study evaluates the efficacy of dividing the sling in a "J" fashion in the management of refractory voiding dysfunction with obstructive voiding symptoms after midurethral slings. The sling is cut at 9 or 3 o'clock position, such that a part of the sling posterior to the urethra is intact.

methodsThis was a retrospective pilot study; analyzing patients who underwent sling division using the J cut technique for postoperative voiding dysfunction after midurethral slings between 2006 and 2010.

resultsFifteen patients were identified during the study period. Mean post-void residual dropped from 239 mL (169.1) to 44.8 mL (47.5). The success rate for resolution of voiding dysfunction was 100%.

conclusionThe J cut of the sling is an effective technique to manage voiding dysfunction after midurethral sling procedures.
