1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposePart of the patients with pelvic organ prolapse but without symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may demonstrate SUI after prolapse surgery (occult SUI), and no optimal preoperative screening method is currently available for it. The aim of this study was to estimate the value of the preoperative 1-h pad test with pessary insertion for predicting the need for a mid-urethral sling (MUS) following prolapse surgery.

methodsTwo hundred and six patients were enrolled for advanced prolapse without complaining of urinary incontinence (UI) in this prospective cohort study. Exclusion criteria included prior or concomitant anti-incontinence surgery. Preoperatively, a stress test, the 1-h pad test and uroflowmetry were performed with prolapse reduction. Primary outcome was postoperative de novo UI. Median follow-up was 31 months (range 12-48 months).

resultsOf the 206 patients, 45 (21.8 %) had evidence of occult SUI preoperatively, 62 (30.1 %) exhibited de novo UI postoperatively, and only 13 (6.3 %) opted MUSs. Patients with occult SUI experienced higher de novo UI rate (53.3 vs. 23.6 %; P = 0.000). The OSUI and concomitant hysterectomy were identified as independent risk factors related to de novo UI (P = 0.000, P = 0.044). We performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the value of preoperative 1-h pad test. The area under ROC curve was 0.816 ± 0.085 (95 % CI 0.649-0.983); the cutoff value was 1.9 g (sensitivity 80.0 %, specificity 83.9 %).

conclusionsThe preoperative 1-h pad test with prolapse reduction is feasible for screening occult SUI, and more than 1.9 g may be a practical indicator of a postoperative subsequent MUS.
