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

aimWe demonstrate a novel box stitch technique of laparoscopic post-hysterectomy uterosacral ligament suspension for apical prolapse in restorative pelvic reconstructive surgery. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe present a case of a 58yo female with symptomatic stage III pelvic organ prolapse with a history of a total abdominal hysterectomy 30 years prior. She strongly desired the usage of no synthetic or biologic mesh for her restorative surgical repair. This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform a laparoscopic box stitch as a technique for uterosacral ligament suspension as an apical native tissue option for patients with the need for post hysterectomy apical prolapse.

conclusionThis video demonstrates a novel box-stitch technique of laparoscopic post-hysterectomy uterosacral ligament suspension as a native tissue option for minimally invasive reconstructive surgery. The procedure is a reasonable option to address apical prolapse in patients who do not desire or who are unable to have synthetic or biologic mesh placed for restorative reconstructive prolapse surgery.
