Short-term outcomes of Altis single-incision sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence: a prospective single-center study.
Observational study in International urogynecology journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03620604 (Mid Term Safety and Efficacy of ALTIS® Single Incision Sling for Female SUI. Less Mesh, Same Results.), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisData on Altis® (Coloplast), a new adjustable single-incision sling (SIS) procedure for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), are scarce. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and complication rates of this procedure.
methodsIn this prospective observational study, a total of 52 women with SUI were implanted with an Altis sling in an ambulatory setting. Before and after intervention (3, 6, and 12 months), women completed the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF). In addition, patients underwent a cough stress test at each evaluation and a post-voiding residual urine volume estimation at 3 months. The main outcomes measured were subjective cure (ICIQ-SF = 0), subjective improvement (ICIQ-SF >0 and < preoperative ICIQ-SF), and objective cure (negative cough stress test and no pad usage) rates. De novo overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, changes in voiding habits and adverse events were also analyzed.
resultsThe subjective cure rate at 12 months was 84.0%, with an additional improvement rate of 8.0%. The objective cure rate was 90.2%. Later postoperative complications included 1 case of vaginal extrusion (requiring surgical removal of the eroded mesh segment), 3 cases of vaginal exposure of the adjustment thread (managed conservatively), de novo urgency in 3 patients, and mild dyspareunia in 2 patients.
conclusionsThe Altis sling is a safe and effective SIS procedure for the treatment of SUI with a short-term follow-up.
