1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 hypothesisSurgical repair options for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) include native tissue, allograft, xenograft, and synthetic grafts. Solvent-dehydrated dermal allograft (SDDG) has an improved safety profile. We evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of SDDG use for cystocele repair.

methodsA total of 184 patients completed a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used pre and post operatively. Recurrent cystocele grade ≥ II and/or repeat cystocele repair were considered objective failure.

resultsPreoperatively, 17 patients (10%) had grade IV cystocele, 87 (47%) grade III, 70 (38%) grade II, and 10 (5%) grade I. All patients underwent SDDG cystocele repair with/without vaginal sling and/or POP repair and/or hysterectomy. Mean hospital stay was 0.58 days (range 0-4), mean estimated blood loss (EBL) was 111 mL, and mean length of Foley catheterization was 1.85 days (range 0-28). Postoperatively, 113 patients (64%) had no recurrent cystocele, 34 (19%) had grade I, 19 (11%) grade II, and 10 (6%) grade III cystocele. None had grade IV cystocele. Nineteen patients (10.3%) underwent repeat cystocele repair. Thirty-eight patients (21.6%) had postoperative recurrence (recurrent cystocele grade ≥ II and/or repeat cystocele repair). Dermal allograft related adverse events included 1 (0.5%) allograft vaginal exposure, dyspareunia 1 (0.5%), and transient hydronephrosis in 1 (0.5%). There were no vascular, vesical, visceral or neurological injuries.

conclusionsThese results indicate that SDDG augmented cystocele repair is a safe procedure, with low morbidity, and it's success is comparable to other techniques.
