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.

Abstract

introduction and hypothesisPatients with genital prolapse and occult stress urinary incontinence (OSUI) are typically treated with prolapse surgery and anti-incontinence surgery based on either a one-step approach or a two-step approach. The aim of our study was to determine whether anti-incontinence surgery is necessary based on the occurrence of OSUI in a study cohort with a long follow-up period.

methodsProlapse surgery was performed using a vaginal approach. Preoperatively, a stress test, a pad test and an assessment of the urodynamics were performed with and without prolapse reduction. Over a follow-up period of 2-8 years, the patients with preoperative evidence of OSUI underwent urogynaecological examinations, stress tests and pad tests.

resultsOf 113 patients with preoperative evidence of OSUI, 57 (50.4 %) were followed up for an average of 5.7 years (range 2-8) after prolapse surgery. Of 57 patients, 16 (28.1 %) had objective and/or subjective stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during the follow-up period, but only 3 patients (5.3 %) required subsequent tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) surgery. In 17 of 57 patients (29.8 %), prolapse recurred.

conclusionsDespite the preoperative evidence of OSUI, the manifestation of SUI rarely occurs, with 28.1 % of patients experiencing SUI over long-term follow-up after vaginal prolapse surgery. Anti-incontinence surgery was necessary in only three cases (5.3 %). These results indicate that with the one-step approach, 54 of 57 patients (94.7 %) would have received prophylactic anti-incontinence surgery unnecessarily. In conclusion, we recommend the two-step approach in the management of vaginal prolapse surgery in patients with OSUI.
