Mesh-related and intraoperative complications of pelvic organ prolapse repair.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionTo evaluate the rates of complications of pelvic organ prolapse repair and to determine their risk factors. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included 677 patients operated for pelvic organ prolapse with trocar guided Prolift mesh. Patients were followed up within 1 and 3 months. A phone interview was conducted and patients with complaints were invited and evaluated in office settings.
resultsMean age was 60 years. For the phone interview, 86.5% of patients were available. Overall complication rates were 22.5% (152/677). Fifteen patients (2.2%) developed bleeding over 500 cc; pelvic hematomas - 5.5%; perineal hematomas - 2.5%; urethral injuries - 0.3%; bladder injury in 1.6%; rectal damage in 0.7% and ureteral trauma in 0.2%. MESH RELATED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED: erosions in 4.8%; vaginal synechiae - 0.3%; protrusion of mesh into the bladder - 0.15%; vesicovaginal fistula with mesh protrusion - 0.3%; mesh shrinkage - 1%; dyspareunia and pain in 2.4% cases. Pelvic abscess was found in 0.6% including one case of lethal necrotizing fasciitis. The risk factors of complications were assessed via logistic regression analysis.
conclusionsYounger age, less prominent prolapse, hematomas and concomitant hysterectomies are associated with higher risk of complications.
