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

We aimed to prospectively evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and development of postoperative-onset pain in women undergoing transobturator midurethral sling procedures. We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study of women undergoing inside-to-out transobturator midurethral sling. At preoperative visit, height, weight, self-reported activity level and baseline pain were documented. At postoperative visits, patients indicated pain location and severity, procedure success, and satisfaction. We used log binomial regression to calculate risk ratios, controlling for potential confounders. For the 129 women included, median age was 50.0 years and BMI was 27.2 kg/m
