Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging before and 6 months after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
Trial report 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 7 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 hypothesisThe objective of this study was to correlate dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) measurements and pelvic floor symptoms in order to determine the value of dynamic MRI for evaluating vaginal vault prolapse both before and 6 months after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
methodsThis was a prospective, single-center cohort study in 43 patients who underwent a modified laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy/hysteropexy operation using bone-anchor fixation and synthetic mesh. The study included dynamic MRI, POP-Q staging, and validated questionnaires before and 6 months after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. To assess MRI data, the pubococcygeal reference line and specifically defined anatomical landmarks for the separate compartments were used. Differences between pre- and postoperative measurements were evaluated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and correlations at the 0.05 level were considered to be significant (Pearson correlation, two tailed).
resultsAt 6 months, a statistically significant improvement was seen in POP-Q staging for all compartments. Dynamic MRI measurements only revealed a significant improvement after surgery for the apical compartment. The correlation between (changes in) MRI measurements, POP-Q measurements, and validated questionnaires was poor.
conclusionsThe value of dynamic MRI for evaluating and documenting changes in vaginal vault support and position after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is limited due to the poor correlation with both POP-Q staging and pelvic floor symptoms.
