Five-year follow-up study of Monarc transobturator tape for surgical treatment of primary 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. Cited by 8 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 hypothesisWe hypothesized that transobturator tape (TOT) is safe and efficacious for the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence in the long term.
methodsWe conducted a prospective study of patients with confirmed urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) who underwent a Monarc
resultsSixty patients were enrolled, and 56 were evaluated at 5 years postoperatively. The majority were middle aged, postmenopausal, and overweight. Mean operating time was 31.1 ± 8.9 min, intraoperative complications were minor, and median period of follow-up was 80.3 ± 9.6 months. At 5 years of follow-up, objective and subjective cure rates were 89.3 % and 87.5 %, respectively. No mesh-related complications were seen. One patient needed a repeat midurethral sling procedure, and one patient each had bladder and bowel cancer.
conclusionMonarc TOT was safe and retained its high cure rate in the short- and long-term treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
