Influence of Demographic and Clinical Factors on Surgical Outcomes of the Transobturator Tape Procedure in Patients with Stress Urinary Incontinence.
Article in Current 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
backgroundStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent problem within the female population with associated high psycho-social impact. Transobturator tape procedure is a well-established procedure to treat the same, but the results may be influenced by various preoperative demographic and clinical factors. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study group comprised of 50 female patients with genuine SUI, who were then divided into subgroups based on demographic and clinical factors. Outcomes were compared between these subgroups at 6 and 12 months using self-reported questionnaires and provocative stress test.
resultsOur results show positive correlation with statistically significant better surgical outcomes in premenopausal patients, patients aged <50 years and those having urethral mobility > 30 degrees. Statistically significant poor outcomes were seen in those having undergone hysterectomy or Caesarean section. No correlation was found with history of smoking or the patient's body mass index.
conclusionsIn conclusion, the transobturator tape procedure appears to be more effective in premenopausal women, women aged < 50 years, women without history of hysterectomy/lower section Caesarean section, and presence of urethral hypermobility > 30 degrees. On the other hand, outcomes do not appear to be influenced by the patient's body mass index or smoking status.
