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

introduction and hypothesisFemale pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition, and recurrence after surgery is considered a significant clinical issue, especially in the anterior compartment. To the best of our knowledge, there are currently no published data in the literature on the timing of recurrence. We used data obtained in clinical audit projects and a prospective surgical trial to define the natural history of cystocele recurrence.

methodsThis is an observational retrospective study utilising data of 166 patients seen at least twice after anterior colporrhaphy, obtained from four clinical audit projects and one prospective surgical trial.

resultsWe identified a total of 481 postoperative visits at a mean follow-up of 1.11 years in 166 individuals. At last available follow-up, 80 (48%) had evidence of cystocele recurrence (ICS POP-Q stage 2+), and 44 (27%) reported symptoms of prolapse. Ultrasound evidence of cystocele recurrence was seen in 74 women (45%). Regression modelling demonstrated that the likelihood of recurrence was highest between 1 and 2 years' follow-up.

conclusionsCystocele recurrence after anterior colporrhaphy seems to be a relatively early phenomenon, with maximum prevalence reached at 18-24 months.
