Factors associated with exposure of transvaginally placed polypropylene mesh for pelvic organ prolapse.
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 7 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
introduction and hypothesisThis study evaluates potential risk factors for mesh exposure following transvaginal placement of polypropylene mesh for pelvic organ prolapse requiring reoperation.
methodsWe performed a case-control study. Cases had mesh exposure requiring surgical revision; controls had no mesh exposures and were chosen for similar surgical date and type of mesh.
resultsWe identified 48 cases and 48 controls. The adjusted odds ratio of having a bleeding complication at the time of mesh implantation was 7.25 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.47-35.66], smokers versus nonsmokers was 3.17 (95% CI 0.59-17.12), and being 1 year older was 0.96 (95% CI 0.92-1.0), among women with mesh exposure.
conclusionsWe identified bleeding complications at the time of mesh implantation as a risk factor for mesh exposure requiring reoperation. Despite being one of the largest studies on this topic, our data were inconclusive regarding the impact of other possible factors on mesh exposure.
