Appendiceal adhesion to synthetic mesh after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: a case report.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Minimally invasive alternatives to abdominal sacrocolpopexy have been shown to be equivalent with low overall complication rates. A small number of direct mesh-related gastrointestinal complications have been reported in the literature. Sacrocolpopexy with mesh retroperitonealization is recommended to minimize bowel adhesions. A 53-year-old nulligravid woman presented with persistent right lower-quadrant pain 1 year after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. The polypropylene mesh used during the case was retroperitonealized. Computed tomography (CT) prior to surgical exploration revealed no obvious pathology. On diagnostic laparoscopy, appendiceal adhesion to mesh requiring an appendectomy was observed. The patient's symptoms resolved after surgical intervention. Appendiceal adhesion to surgical mesh leading to chronic discomfort is a potential complication of intraperitoneal synthetic mesh placement. Our case emphasizes that bowel adhesions may occur even after proper mesh retroperitonealization. Appendiceal adhesion to the surgical site is a potential complication of retroperitonealized synthetic mesh placement at the time of sacrocolpopexy.
