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

objectiveThe Manchester repair, developed in the UK by Donald, described in 1908, and later modified by Fothergill, is a well-studied and proven surgical treatment for uterovaginal prolapse when uterine preservation is desired. This operation is currently not widely performed in parts of the world (USA) but is becoming increasing popular in Europe. The objective of this video is to demonstrate our surgical technique and recommendations for successful completion of the procedure.

methodsThis patient is a 39-year-old woman with two previous vaginal deliveries who presented with a 1-year history of vaginal protrusion. She had no urinary or bowel symptoms. On examination, she had a grade 2 cystocele and uterine descent. She desired surgical management of her uterovaginal prolapse but wished to retain her uterus. The procedure involves mobilizing the vagina and bladder off the cervix and uterosacral cardinal ligament complex anteriorly and laterally. The cervix is then amputated. The ligaments are clamped, cut, and ligated and attached to the anterior cervical remnant with an overlapping suture. This pulls the cervix backward into the pelvis and results in anteversion of the uterus. A posterior and then anterior Sturmdorf suture is used to reconstruct the cervix by covering the amputated cervix with vaginal mucosa.

conclusionThe Manchester repair is an operation worth considering in patients where preservation of the uterus is desired. It uses native tissue and has a low complication rate and good long-term results.
