Vascular complication after sacrospinous ligament fixation with uterine preservation.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aim of the videoSacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) is a minimally invasive transvaginal procedure for correcting apical prolapse. Amongst perioperative complications, life-threatening hemorrhage has a reported occurrence rate ranging from 0.2 % to 2 %. We present a case of arterial hemorrhage following SSLF and a multispecialty approach to its successful management.
methodsThe video demonstrates the development of an unexpected progressive postoperative hematoma following left-side sacrospinous hysterocolpopexy via the anterior approach, despite minimal intraoperative bleeding. The mechanism of formation of the hematoma could have been laceration of an aberrant vaginal branch of the inferior vesical artery secondary to pulling the anchor which is tied off at the cervix after closure. To treat these patients effectively, it is essential for the surgeon to make a timely diagnosis, and in our patient, embolization of the inferior vesical artery provided a safe and effective treatment for the pelvic hemorrhage that eliminated the need for an invasive surgical intervention.
conclusionLife-threatening bleeding is a rare complication of transvaginal SSLF. Pelvic vessel embolization can provide an effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgical re-exploration.
