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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare the 1-year results of patients on whom we used the transobturator tape method for the stress incontinence treatment according to body mass index (BMI). MATERIAL AND

methodsPatients diagnosed with stress incontinence and treated with the transobturator tape method were divided into three groups according to BMI. We recorded the results of preoperative urodynamic studies; durations of operation, catheterization, and hospitalization; and complications of patients. Patients were evaluated 1 year after the operation with respect to the objective/subjective success rates of the operation, patient satisfaction rates, and possible late complications.

resultsThe obese group was observed to have a significantly higher duration of operation than the normal and overweight groups (p<0.001). The objective and subjective success rates were not significantly different between the groups (p=0.567 and p=0.245, respectively). There was no statistical difference between the groups with respect to the satisfaction rates (p=0.245). There was no significant difference between all three groups with respect to both preoperative and postoperative complication rates (p=0.096).

conclusionThe transobturator tape method for stress incontinence treatment has similar objective and subjective success rates, independent of BMI. In the obese patients, the operation time is longer than the others, but there is no difference with respect to the complication rates.
