Recurrent obturator abscess with spontaneous expulsion of the mesh after transobturator tape operation.

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
The transobturator tape operation has been the most popular method of SUI surgery worldwide owing to its low complication rate and high success rate. However, erosions and abscesses secondary to transobturator tape have been observed. Here we report a 36-year-old woman referred to our unit with fever, persistent swelling in the left groin, difficulty in walking, and a tape that came through the vagina, 4 years after the transobturator tape operation. She had a history of ischiorectal abscess and rectovaginal fistula. A recurrent obturator abscess with fistula formation and spontaneous expulsion of the mesh was diagnosed. The patient underwent antibiotic therapy, incision through the fistula tract, drainage of the abscess, and removal of the necrotic material. Patients should be informed about risks of erosion and infection and that pain and foul smelling vaginal discharge might be the first signs of severe infectious morbidities after transobturator tape operation.
