Basic science and clinical aspects of mesh infection in pelvic floor reconstructive surgery.
Review 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 12 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 hypothesisBacterial colonization following mesh-augmented pelvic floor reconstructive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse is probably an underestimated consideration.
methodsAlthough clinical infections are rare, subclinical contamination of the polypropylene mesh has been systematically demonstrated by bacteriological analyses during mesh implantation and on explanted meshes.
resultsA model of subclinical mesh infection does exist and bacterial colonization and mesh shrinkage have recently been correlated experimentally.
conclusionsNew meshes with surface modifications or an antibiotic or antiseptic coating should be explored.
