The challenge of implementing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
Article 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 11 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
Vaginal-vault prolapse is effectively treated using sacrocolpopexy (SCP). A randomized trial demonstrated that it can be performed as effectively via laparoscopy (LSCP) as via laparotomy and with less morbidity. This evidence begs the question of how units offering abdominal sacrocolpopexy will implement LSCP. Several limitations need to be overcome. LSCP initially requires longer operating time; however, that decreases with surgeon experience. To decrease operation time, suture training can be implemented ahead. Following a 15-h suturing lab, trainees achieved comparable operation times after 30 cases. Dissection is another critical time-consuming step and is difficult to model. Proficiency is more dependent on patient characteristics, though this component is poorly studied. One experience showed it takes 60 procedures to effectively limit complications. The large number of patients required for surgeon training for this relative infrequent operation creates a problem, thus limiting the number of centers available for training surgeons within a reasonable period.
