Selection of patients in whom vaginal graft use may be appropriate. Consensus of the 2nd IUGA Grafts Roundtable: optimizing safety and appropriateness of graft use in transvaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery.
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 24 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 recent rapid and widespread adoption of the use of mesh, and mesh-based surgical kits for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair surgery has occurred largely unchecked, and is now being subjected to critical analysis and re-evaluation.
methodsThere have been multiple driving forces for this phenomenon, including aggressive marketing by surgical device manufacturing companies, contagious hype among pelvic surgeons and regulatory processes which facilitated relatively rapid marketing of new devices.
resultsPatient-related factors such as indications for mesh use, expected risks and benefits relative to mesh implantation, and appropriately selected outcome measures have been slow to be defined.
conclusionsThis manuscript reviews the currently available literature in the use of grafts and mesh in POP surgery with a focus on identifying situations where graft use may be appropriate for an individual patient. It also identifies specific clinical situations where mesh use may not be recommended.
