The role of bladder neck suspension in the era of mid-urethral sling surgery.
Review in World journal of urology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionMid-urethral slings are currently considered to be the gold standard for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence, replacing bladder neck suspension techniques which previously occupied this position. In recent years, however, there have been concerns with regard to the use of synthetic material in vaginal surgery.
methodsWe performed a review of the literature to discuss the role of bladder neck suspension techniques in the current clinical setting.
conclusionsBladder neck suspension techniques consist of vaginal techniques, needle suspension techniques and retropubic techniques. The latter two techniques have been proven to offer durable outcomes for stress urinary incontinence. As compared to autologous slings, the long-term success rates may be considered inferior, but so is the rate of complication, resulting in higher patient satisfaction. Bladder neck suspension techniques may have a role in treating recurrent and/or persisting stress urinary incontinence after (failed) sling surgery and remain of particular interest in patients with stress urinary incontinence when performing concomitant surgery, for example for prolapse.
