The effect of pelvic organ prolapse severity on improvement in overactive bladder symptoms after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
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 26 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 the effect of baseline pelvic organ prolapse (POP) severity on improvement in overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of women with POP and OAB who underwent surgical correction of symptomatic apical and/or anterior POP. OAB was defined as an affirmative response to item #15 (urinary frequency) and/or item #16 (urge incontinence) of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI). POP severity was dichotomized as Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage 1-2 versus stage 3-4. Our primary outcome was complete resolution or improvement of urinary frequency or urge incontinence on the PFDI 12 months postoperatively.
resultsAt 12 months postoperative, 41 (89%) women with stage 1-2 POP versus 47 (85 %) with stage 3-4 POP reported improvement in urinary frequency (p = 0.58). Thirty five (90 %) with stage 1-2 and 34 (85 %) with stage 3-4 POP reported improvement in urge incontinence (p = 0.74). On multiple logistic regression, women with stage 3-4 POP had a decreased odds of improvement in frequency or urge incontinence compared with women with stage 1-2 POP (adjusted odds ration [AOR] = 0.06 [95 % CI 0.01-0.67]), after adjusting for confounders.
conclusionsWomen with coexisting POP and OAB who undergo surgical correction of POP experience improvement in OAB symptoms after surgery, although women with more severe POP may be at a higher risk of persistent frequency or urge incontinence.
