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

introduction and hypothesisConflicting opinions on the effect of incontinence surgery on the prevalence of postoperative urgency symptoms exists. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of urgency symptoms preoperatively and during 3-year of follow-up in women undergoing mid-urethral sling procedures for stress incontinence.

methodsTwo hundred and sixty-seven women were randomly assigned to a retropubic or a transobturator operation. Detrusor instability score (DIS) and Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) questionnaires were used to assess prevalence of urgency symptoms. The Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7, visual analog scale, urinary incontinence severity score, and the EuroQol-5D assessed overall quality of life changes.

resultsA significant decrease in the DIS and UDI-6 score was seen postoperatively. Signs of de novo urgency symptoms were low.

conclusionsMid-urethral sling procedures can be recommended in cases of mixed incontinence, and the procedures seems to decrease prevalence of urgency symptoms.
