Long-term outcomes of synthetic transobturator nonabsorbable anterior mesh versus anterior colporrhaphy in symptomatic, advanced pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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 hypothesisAnterior vaginal mesh (AVM) combined with sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSF) yields better long-term success rates over anterior colporrhaphy (AC) in advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery, with a low rate of mesh-related complications.
methodsMedical records of 198 patients who underwent surgery for POP between January 2006 and March 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients' assessment at baseline and third-year postoperative follow-up were analyzed. SSF plus AC or AVM was performed for apical and anterior compartment repair. Primary outcome was objective cure [Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage ≤ 1)], and subjective cure defined as negative response to questions 2 and 3 on the POPDI-6. Secondary outcomes were complications, symptoms severity and quality of life as measured with validated questionnaires.
resultsPost-operative data were available for 186 patients, 72 in AC group and 114 in AVM group were analyzed. The mean age, parity and operating time in AVM group were significantly higher as compared to AC group. The overall objective and subjective cure rate in AVM group was significantly higher than AC group (90.3 % and 88.6 % versus 73.6 % and 70.8 %, with P value = 0.003 and 0.002 respectively). Mesh exposure rate was 3.5 %. Improvement in both POPDI-6 and PISQ-12 in AVM group was statistically significant compared to AC group.
conclusionTransobturator synthetic nonabsorbable AVM combined with SSF yielded a favorable and sustainable result over 5 years as compared to traditional AC, both in anatomical and subjective success rate. Mesh related morbidities were low and acceptable.
