[Complications associated with plastic meshes and slings. A situation like in the US?].
Article in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
New surgical strategies have rarely been accepted so rapidly in clinical routine worldwide, without available prospective studies proving safety and efficacy. After the success of midurethral slings, having been implanted in millions of patients, alloplastic meshes are available for the treatment of prolapse with new, so far unknown complications in relevant frequency. In the USA with their own medicolegal system, there have been a flood of litigations (> 60,000 in 2014), with compensations of > USD 10 million in individual cases. Even though medical strategies and surgical skills might be different in Germany this development should encourage strict indications and centralization in pelvic floor centers.
