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

Transvaginal repair with mesh of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) provides women with the durability of a synthetic graft using the less-invasive route of vaginal surgery. However, morbidities such as mesh exposures are common and challenging to manage. Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is a naturally occurring collagen matrix derived from porcine intestine. It contains growth factors and cytokines that promote healing of damaged tissue. This case report describes a large vaginal mesh exposure due to necrosis of the full thickness of the anterior vaginal wall. A remarkable and rapid regeneration of vaginal tissue over the exposed mesh was achieved with SIS placement after failure of treatment with vaginal estrogen for >6 months. Collagen scaffold is an effective, rapid, and minimally invasive treatment for large vaginal mesh exposures.
