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 hypothesisThe objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Miniarc Precise® single-incision sling (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN, USA) placed at the time of a robotic sacrocolpopexy.

methodsThis was a prospective study of a single-incision suburethral sling placed at the time of robotic sacrocolpopexy in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse. Primary outcome measure was cure at 1 year, defined objectively by a negative cough stress test (CST) and subjectively by a score of "0 or 1" on question 17 of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20): "Do you experience urine leakage related to coughing/sneezing/laughing?" Secondary outcome measures included the change in Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Urinary Impact Questionnaire (UIQ-7) scores at 1 year. All sling-related complications were reported. Paired Student's t test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for statistical analysis.

resultsOne hundred and one patients were included between August 2010 and July 2012. One-year follow-up was available for 97 out of 101 patients (96 %). Objective cure was 90 % and subjective cure was 87 %. Baseline UDI-6 scores improved from 34.8 ± 25.1 to 6.7 ± 11.2 at 1 year (p < 0.001). Similarly, UIQ-7 scores improved from 21.1 ± 22.8 to 2.4 ± 8.2 at 1 year (p < 0.001). There were no intraoperative cystotomies, no mesh erosions, no sling revisions, and no cases of urinary retention. The retreatment rate for persistent SUI was 8 % (8 out of 97).

conclusionsThe addition of a single-incision suburethral sling at the time of robotic sacrocolpopexy in women with SUI resulted in an 87 % cure rate at 1 year.
