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 hypothesisOur aim was to evaluate the outcome of open colposuspension for women with urodynamic stress incontinence who had previously undergone a failed midurethral tape.

methodsA retrospective study of 13 women who had undergone open colposuspension after a failed midurethral tape was conducted.

resultsAt a median follow-up of 12 months, subjective and objective cure rate were 85% and 77%, respectively. Thirty percent of the women developed de novo detrusor overactivity that responded to antimuscarinic treatment. Long-term voiding difficulty was observed in only one patient, who performed clean intermittent self-catheterization for 3 months. Posterior vaginal wall prolapse requiring pelvic floor repair was found in three women (23%) postoperatively.

conclusionsOpen colposuspension is an effective option for treating persistent or recurrent stress urinary incontinence after failed midurethral tape, with a high success rate.
