Informed surgical consent for a mesh/graft-augmented vaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse. 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 4 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 hypothesisComplex issues surround informed surgical consent for pelvic reconstructive surgery.
methodsVaginally placed mesh/grafts are used with the intent to increase durability of the repair but potentially introduce unique complications, offering new challenges in informed surgical consent counseling.
resultsInformed consent is a process that takes place throughout the entire consultation with the patient. A written document often accompanies that process. This paper outlines necessary components of informed surgical consent and the theory behind each component.
conclusionsWe explore elements that should be included in the consent process with regard to expected benefits, alternatives, and material risks that are specific to the use of a mesh/graft-augmented vaginal repair of prolapse. Included is an appendix that may serve as a template for the creation of a surgeon's own written informed consent document.
