Outcomes of midurethral sling procedures in women with mixed urinary incontinence.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
introduction and hypothesisThe objective was to compare midurethral sling (MUS) urinary outcomes in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) only versus mixed UI (MUI).
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of women who underwent primary MUS surgery for SUI. MUI was defined as at least "moderately" bothersome urgency and stress incontinence on the Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) subscale of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20). The primary outcome was SUI cure defined by a response of "no," "not at all," or "somewhat" bothersome SUI on both of the two UDI-6 stress subscale items. Symptom impact was assessed using the Urinary Impact Questionnaire (UIQ-7). Multivariable models assessed the effect of MUI on SUI outcomes.
resultsOne thousand one hundred and ninety-one primary MUS procedures were reviewed. Seven hundred and fifteen out of 1,191 (60%) questionnaires were returned and 534 out of 715 (75%) had completed baseline and follow-up questionnaires. Mean (± SD) follow-up time was 35 ± 15 months. Women with MUI had a higher (worse) baseline total score on the UDI-6 (p ≤ 0.001). A lower proportion of women with MUI had SUI success compared with the SUI only group (64 vs 84.5%, p < 0.001). On multivariable analyses, women in the MUI group were at an increased risk of SUI failure (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.6, 4.0), but greater improvements in UDI-6 (-31.6 ± 30.6 vs -15.5 ± 25.1), and UIQ-7 scores (-21.7 ± 35.3 vs -15.1 ± 28.2) compared with women with SUI only (all p < 0.02).
conclusionsWomen with MUI are at an increased risk of SUI failure after MUS compared with women with SUI only, but experience greater overall improvement in the impact of urinary symptoms on the quality of life.
