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

objectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of transobturator vaginal tape (TOT) in the management women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and to analyze functional results and subjective cure rates at follow- up visits.

methodsEighty-three consecutive women with SUI underwent TOT procedure. Data related to operative time, pre- and post-operative complications were collected. Subjective cure was defined as the absence of any urine loss on physical activity.

resultsMean age of the patients was 53.2 years, and 66.3% of the patients had pure SUI. The mean operative time was 24.96 min in cases of isolated SUI treatment. The mean hospital stay was 1.53±0.68 days. At a mean follow-up of 32.8 months, the median subjective cure rate was 68.7 percent. Bladder injury (8.4%) was the only short and long term complication of this procedure.

conclusionTOT is a safe and effective procedure for SUI with a low rate of long- term complications. The short -term complication like bladder perforation may develop based on the experience of the surgeons or concomitant pelvic surgery.
