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.

2 · The registry

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

The majority of women with pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence report more than one symptom that affects urinary, bowel, or sexual function. Most research studies on outcomes following surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and stress incontinence focus on anatomic outcomes and relief of symptoms specific to prolapse and/or stress incontinence. Pelvic symptoms related to voiding function such as de novo urgency or incontinence, bowel function, and sexual function are clinically important outcomes but are infrequently reported. Deterioration of pelvic symptoms postoperatively is associated with decreased patient satisfaction, which underscores the importance of effectively assessing functional and anatomic treatment outcomes. Future studies of reconstructive pelvic surgery should routinely include multiple domain functional outcomes specifically addressing voiding, defecatory, and sexual function.
