Patient satisfaction after laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh for pelvic organ prolapse: outcome report of a continuous series of 417 patients.
Observational study in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 48 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisSacropexy is considered the gold standard for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) although dissection of the promontory may be challenging, particularly in obese women. Laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh (LLS) could be an alternative.
methodsLLS provides lateral attachment by fibrosis of a vesicovaginal mesh. Clinical evaluation was performed at 1 year using the simplified POP quantification system (POP-Q). Primary outcomes were objective and subjective cure at 1 year. After a mean of 7.2 years the rates of reoperation and complications were assessed as secondary outcomes. Patient satisfaction was evaluated by telephone interview using a ten-point-scale and the PGI-I scale. Factors predicting satisfaction were determined by logistic regression analysis.
resultsA total of 417 patients were treated between 2003 and 2011. At 1 year 78.4% of patients were asymptomatic and anatomic success rates were 91.6% for the anterior compartment, 93.6% for the apical compartment and 85.3% for the posterior compartment. The complication rate of Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher was 2.2%. The mesh exposure rate was 4.3% and the reoperation rate was 7.3%. Of the 417 patients, 214 participated in the telephone interview. Over 85% rated their situation as improved and satisfaction was associated with the absence of concomitant hysterectomy.
conclusionsLLS is a safe technique with promising results in terms of a composite outcome, low complication rates and high long-term patient satisfaction. However, a randomized controlled trial is needed to establish the technique as an alternative to sacropexy in the treatment of POP in obese and high morbidity patients.
