Population based trends in procedures following sling surgery for urinary incontinence.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 hypothesisTo investigate practice patterns and variation associated with sling removal/revision and urethrolysis on a population level.
methodsWe used CPT 4 codes and the State Ambulatory Surgery Database (SASD) to identify all ambulatory procedures for sling removal/revision and urethrolysis from 2004 to 2009 in Florida. Next, we calculated adjusted rates for these procedures and measured regional variation in rates at the level of the Hospital Service Area (HSA).
resultsDuring this time period, rates of secondary procedures following slings more than doubled from 3.2 per 100,000 to 6.5 per 100,000 population (p<0.001). There was a large amount of regional variation, with rates of these procedures varying more than 5-fold across HSAs. Regions that placed more slings did not necessarily have higher rates of secondary procedures following sling placement.
conclusionsThe large amount of variability in rates of secondary procedures following slings signifies considerable uncertainty about the indications for these procedures. Further research is warranted to better explain potential sources for this variation in order to improve the quality of care surrounding midurethral sling placement and the recognition and treatment of its complications.
