Short-term postoperative functional outcomes in older women undergoing prolapse surgery.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo evaluate whether preoperative markers of functional status predict postoperative functional outcomes in older women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
methodsProspective cohort study of women aged 60 years or older who underwent surgery for prolapse. Preoperative functional status was measured using number of functional limitations (such as difficulty walking or climbing), American Society of Anesthesiologists class, anemia, and history of recent weight loss. Our primary outcome was the number of postoperative functional limitations and secondary outcomes were failure to return to baseline functional status and length of stay after surgery. We determined the association of preoperative functional status markers with postoperative outcomes using univariable and multivariable regression.
resultsIn 127 women, presence of a preoperative functional limitation was a significant predictor of a 0.55 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.74) increase in the number of postoperative functional limitations after controlling for age, number of preoperative functional limitations, comorbidities, depression, surgeon, type of procedure, and complications (P<.001). History of recent weight loss and anemia increased risk for failure to return to baseline functional status after controlling for surgeon, type of surgery, and complications (relative risk 2.44, 95% CI 1.26-4.71 and relative risk 2.72, 95% CI 1.29-5.75), respectively). Preoperative markers associated with longer length of stay after surgery were American Society of Anesthesiologists class III (0.83 days, 95% CI 0.20-1.46) and history of weight loss (0.84 days, 95% CI 0.13-1.54).
conclusionPreoperative markers of functional status are useful in predicting short-term postoperative functional outcomes in older women undergoing surgery for POP. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: : II.
