Effect of Cystocele Repair on Cervix Location in Women With Uterus In Situ.

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
introduction and hypothesisOur objective was to test the hypothesis that cystocele repair, in the absence of hysterectomy or apical suspension, results in higher cervix location in some women.
methodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of women with a uterus in situ who underwent native tissue anterior repair without hysterectomy/apical suspension from 2008 to 2014. Demographics, medical history, and preoperative and 6-week postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System measurements were abstracted. Cervix location was defined by the clinic Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System point C value. Women with higher (more negative) postoperative point C values were compared with those with a lower (more positive)/unchanged point C.
resultsOf the 33 women included, mean age was 59.8 ± 11.3 years. Median preoperative point C was -6.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: -6.75, -5.0) and point Ba was +2.0 (IQR: +0.5, +3.0). Point C was higher postoperatively in 21 (64%) of 33 women. Overall, point C was 1 cm higher post- versus preoperatively (-7.0 [IQR: -8.0, -6.0] vs -6.0 [IQR: -6.75, -5.0], P < 0.001) and point Ba was 4 cm higher (-2 [IQR: -3.0, -2.0] vs 2.0 [IQR: 0.5, 3.0], P < 0.001). Compared with women with lower/unchanged postoperative point C, those with higher point C were older (53.9 ± 12.3 vs 63.1 ± 9.4, P = 0.02) with lower parity (3.0 [IQR: 2.0, 3.0] vs 2.0 [IQR: 2.0, 3.0], P = 0.028).
conclusionsThe test of our hypothesis shows that in certain women with cystocele, anterior repair alone may be associated with higher cervix location 6 weeks postoperatively.
