Transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation for posthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse repair.
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 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 hypothesisPosthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse repair is a challenge for urogynecologists. Surgical management can be successful with native tissue by the vaginal approach with sacrospinous ligament fixation. However, severe complications have been described, including nerve injury and life-threatening hemorrhage.
methodsA 68-year-old woman with symptomatic stage III vaginal vault prolapse was admitted for transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation according to the described technique.
resultsThe surgical procedure was successful without complications. The final examination revealed excellent apical support and preservation of vaginal length. This step-by-step video tutorial may be an important tool for improving surgical knowledge, thus leading to a reduction in the risk of complications. In particular proper suture positioning requires adequate preparation of the pararectal space and exposure of the sacrospinous ligament, as shown in the video.
conclusionsTransvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation is a safe and effective technique for apical support without the use of prosthetic materials. Adequate preparation of the pararectal space, direct visualization of the sacrospinous ligament and proper suture positioning are the key points in minimizing the risk of complications.
