Imaging of slings and meshes.
Review in Australasian journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The popularity of imaging in pelvic floor medicine continues to increase. Among the various modalities, ultrasound is superior as it is cheap, safe, easily accesible and simple, resulting in high patient compliance. It is the only technique that allows imaging of modern wide-weave polypropylene sling or mesh implants, and imaging of such implants is commonly required due to the popularity of surgical techniques that involve the placement of slings and meshes. This review article will discuss the role of translabial ultrasound in the evaluation of synthetic implants used in the treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
