Incidence of pelvic organ prolapse repair subsequent to hysterectomy: a comparison between radical hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 hypothesisThe aim of this study was to compare the incidence of subsequent pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair in women following radical hysterectomy versus total abdominal hysterectomy.
methodsFrom the Danish National Patient Registry, we collected data on all radical hysterectomies, all total abdominal hysterectomies, and all POP operations performed in Denmark from 1 January 1977 to 31 December 2009. We excluded patients with prior POP repair, POP diagnosis, or concomitant POP repair at hysterectomy. We analyzed the incidence of POP surgery using Kaplan-Meier curves and hazard ratio (HR).
resultsIn all, 5279 women underwent radical hysterectomy, and 63 of these underwent subsequent POP surgery. In the same period, 149,920 women underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, and 6107 of these had POP surgery subsequent to the hysterectomy. The cumulative incidence of POP surgery was significantly lower for radical hysterectomy than for abdominal hysterectomy-3.4 % and 9.5 %, respectively, at the end of the study period, yielding a crude HR of 0.36 and an adjusted HR of 0.40 in favor of the radical hysterectomy. The distribution of POP operations in the defined compartments was the same for the two types of hysterectomy.
conclusionsThis study found a significantly lower incidence of subsequent POP operations among women who undergo radical hysterectomy than total abdominal hysterectomy.
