Long-term subjective results of tension-free vaginal tape operation for female urinary stress incontinence.
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 2 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 hypothesisThe aim of the study was to evaluate the subjective outcome between 1 and 5 years after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) operation and the need for follow-up.
methodsA prospective questionnaire study was performed including questions about incontinence, urinary tract infection, emptying problems, the wish for a clinical control and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF).
resultsOne hundred seventy-three patients were included. There were more patients with subjective recurrent stress incontinence over the years, but ICIQ-SF was unchanged. There was no rise in patients reporting urge incontinence over the years. Only 11.4% of the patients wished for a clinical control at some time.
conclusionThe TVT operation showed a slight degree of subjective deterioration between 1 and 5 years after the operation; however, the ICIQ-SF was unchanged. There seems to be no need for long-term follow-up at the operating department.
