Miniarc single-incision sling for treatment of stress urinary incontinence: 2-year clinical outcomes.
Trial report 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 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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 hypothesisWe report 2-year data on the effectiveness and safety of the MiniArc single-incision sling in women with stress urinary incontinence.
methodsThis multi-center, prospective, single-arm, industry-sponsored study measured the effectiveness of the MiniArc sling via quantitative (cough stress test and 1-h pad weight test) and qualitative (Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form) measurements. The objective efficacy rate was defined as the number of patients with a negative cough stress test or 1-h pad weight test ≤ 1 g at 2 years. The subjective efficacy rate was determined by patient responses to the UDI-6 question # 3, "Do you experience, and if so, how much are you bothered by urine leakage related to physical activity, coughing, or sneezing?" Secondary objectives were to evaluate procedural variables of implantation and long-term safety.
resultsOne hundred and eighty women with a mean age of 51.1 years were implanted in the study. Mean procedure time, blood loss, and length of stay were 11.0 min, 41.7 mL and 9.5 h respectively. At 2 years, 142 patients were available for analysis. The objective efficacy rates for the cough stress test (CST) and pad weight test (PWT) were 84.5 % and 80.1 % respectively and the subjective efficacy rate was 92.9 %. Median Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form scores showed statistically significant improvement (p < .001). The most common adverse events included UTI (4.8 %), constipation (3.7 %), and temporary urinary retention (3.2 %).
conclusionMiniArc is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of SUI in women with follow-up through 2 years.
