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 Burch colposuspension is a well-studied and proven surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence without intrinsic sphincter deficiency. The advent of the minimally invasive mid-urethral sling has given rise to diminished surgical experience in performing the Burch. Recent anti-mesh media and FDA notifications have caused patients to demand mesh-free surgery, resulting in an opportunity for the resurgence of the Burch procedure. The objective of this video is to demonstrate surgical technique and instruction for a robotic Burch colposuspension as well as recommendations for successful completion of the procedure. Additionally, the video reviews and illustrates pertinent surgical anatomy regardless of approach.

methodsThe patient is a 53-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of vaginal pressure, urinary incontinence, and constipation. She had symptoms and urodynamics consistent with mixed urinary incontinence without intrinsic sphincter deficiency and had been treated with antimuscarinics for overactive bladder. On examination she was found to have stage II prolapse. She desired surgical management of both her prolapse and stress incontinence.

conclusionRobotic Burch colposuspension can be completed in a safe and effective manner and should be considered as an option for patients in whom an anti-incontinence procedure is indicated and who are already undergoing robotic surgery.
