Change in urinary storage symptoms following treatment for female stress urinary incontinence.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
introduction and hypothesisSling surgery is common for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Yet many women have stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). The change in urgency/urge urinary incontinence (U/UUI) following treatment is not well documented. Our aim was to assess changes in U/UUI in women undergoing a sling placement for MUI and correlate this with improvement in quality of life (QOL).
methodsThis was a retrospective review of women treated for SUI with either an autologous rectus fascia pubovaginal sling (AF-PVS) or synthetic retropubic midurethral sling (MUS). Validated questionnaires-Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7), and visual analog scale (VAS) were obtained pre- and postoperatively. The independent association between change in storage symptoms and subjective cure-as defined by improved overall score on UDI-6, VAS score ≥ 7, or both -were assessed using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsNine hundred and twenty-seven women were identified for inclusion; 718 (77.5 %) had preoperative MUI, of whom 487 (67.8 %) received an MUS and 231 (32.2 %) an AF-PVS. Similar objective cure rates were noted following MUS vs. AF-PVS (78.2 % vs. 71.9 %, p = 0.315). Subjectively, women treated with MUS experienced greater improvement in U/UUI (72.8 % vs. 57.6 %, p = <0.001) than AF-PVS. Multivariate analysis showed MUS patients were more than twice as likely to show subjective improvement in UDI-6 and VAS scores than the AF-PVS cohort. Postoperatively, validated questionnaires were significantly associated with storage symptom outcome.
conclusionsPatients with U/UUI experience significant symptom improvement following treatment for MUI. QoL assessment following surgery is directly correlated with improvement in U/UUI.
