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 hypothesisIt is unclear whether preoperative urodynamic study (UDS) values are predictive of outcomes after midurethral sling. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe systematically reviewed multiple databases from January 1989 to October 2011 for English-language studies correlating UDS data with postoperative outcomes after midurethral slings. We performed random effects model meta-analyses, as indicated. Relative risk (RR) ratios for the outcome of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) cure were calculated using high maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) and Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP) values as the reference group.

resultsHigh preoperative MUCP was associated with cure after retropubic [RR 0.67; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-0.97)] and transobturator slings (RR 0.65; 95% CI 0.49-0.90). High preoperative VLPP was also associated with cure after retropubic sling (RR 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.96), but this relationship did not achieve statistical significance for cure after transobturator sling (RR 0.86; 95% CI 0.74-1.00).

conclusionsPreoperative MUCP and VLPP values may add insight into postoperative outcomes after surgical treatment for SUI.
