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 hypothesisUrethral complications due to synthetic midurethral slings are rare. Possible causes may include unrecognized trocar injury, mesh implantation despite recognized injury, mesh contamination leading to inflammation and delayed perforation, and excessive sling tension. There is no consensus as to the surgical management of urethral complications with regard to how much mesh should be excised, whether an interposition flap should be used, and whether a pubovaginal sling should be placed at the time of surgery. The purpose of this video is to present a technique of repairing complete urethral disruption due to a synthetic midurethral sling complication.

methodsIn this video, we demonstrate the steps to perform primary end-to-end urethral reconstruction for repairing complete urethral disruption. Any residual synthetic mesh must first be excised, after which the anastomosis may be completed.

resultsComplete urethral disruption is a rare complication of synthetic midurethral sling surgery that can be repaired primarily with good results.

conclusionsThere is no consensus regarding surgical management of urethral complications caused by synthetic midurethral slings, and thus an individualized approach should be used based on patient presentation and surgeon expertise.
