Trends in the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
objectivesTo estimate the rates of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery from 2000 to 2009 by type of procedure, year, age, and region of the country.
methodsWe used data between 2000 and 2009 from a database containing health care claims data from employer-based plans in the United States. We analyzed data for all women age 18-64 years, identifying all SUI procedures in this population. Rates per 100,000 person-years and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated each year by procedure type, age, and region.
resultsThe study population included 32.9 million women age 18-64 years observed for 74,007,937 person-years between 2000 and 2009. During that time, there were 182,110 SUI procedures for a rate of 246.1 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI 239.7-252.6). The most common SUI surgery was sling (198.3 per 100,000 person-years, 95% CI 192.8-203.9) followed by Burch (25.9 per 100,000 person-years, 95% CI 24.8-27.2). There was a dramatic increase in slings, with a corresponding decrease in Burch procedures from 2000 to 2009. Other SUI surgeries had lower rates. Although this trend was evident across all regions, the Northeast had the lowest rate of SUI surgery, whereas rates in the West, Midwest, and South were 1.44-times, 1.76-times, and 2.09-times higher, respectively.
conclusionIn a dramatic shift over the past decade, slings have become the dominant procedure for SUI among women age 18-64 years. Although this trend was seen across the United States, considerable variability exists in the SUI surgery rates by region. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
