TVT SECUR System: Final results of a prospective, observational, multicentric study.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 hypothesisThis is an observational multicentre prospective study into the complications and effectiveness of TVT SECUR™.
methodsOne hundred forty-seven patients with urodynamic or occult Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) were enrolled. Outcome measures at 6, 12 and 24 months were: objective cough test; subjective responses to PGI-S questionnaire and Visual Analogue Score. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Wilcoxon Test; Monte Carlo Exact Test.
resultsNinety-five urodynamic SUI and 41 occult SUI patients were treated using transobturator (H-position) or retropubic (U-position) approach (110 vs. 26 patients). Cure rates at 6, 12, and 24 months were 87.5%, 88.6% and 89.5%. Failure rates at all follow-ups were similar for urodynamic and occult SUI. The U-position failure rate was comparable to H-position at short-term but significantly higher at mid-term. Familiarity with the technique brought significantly higher success rates.
conclusionsTVT SECUR is safe, effective and versatile, but has an appreciable learning curve.
