An anatomic comparison of the original versus a modified inside-out transobturator procedure.
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 objective of this study was to evaluate the modification of a shortened tape and reduced dissection of the inside-out transobturator procedure on the tape's relationship to the relevant anatomical structures.
methodsIn ten fresh frozen cadavers, relevant distances between the two different tapes and anatomical structures were recorded.
resultsThe shorter tape traversed less muscular structures, but consistently traversed the obturator membrane. The median distance from the tape to the obturator canal measured 2.0 versus 1.9 cm, to the anterior obturator nerve 3.0 versus 2.7 cm, and to the posterior obturator nerve 2.2 versus 2.0 cm [modified versus original procedure, respectively (p > 0.05)]. Significantly, less mesh was inserted in the modified procedure on each side of the body (6.1 versus 9.9 cm, p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe shorter, inside-out transobturator tape traverses less muscular structures than its original counterpart, while still consistently anchoring in the obturator membrane at a similarly safe distance from the obturator canal.
