De novo overactive bladder following midurethral sling procedures: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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 hypothesisDe novo overactive bladder (OAB) is a known complication of midurethral sling surgery for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. To date, differences in the incidence of de novo OAB following the use of different types of midurethral sling remain relatively unknown. The purpose of the present systematic review was to evaluate this incidence and summarize current evidence.
methodsWe systematically searched the literature using the MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, LILACS and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases as well as the grey literature and references from the electronically retrieved articles. For comparisons of proportions, we used the chi-squared test. All reported analyses were designed as two-tailed. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
resultsFinally, 32 studies were included in this systematic review, with a total of 3,139 patients who had undergone midurethral sling procedures that included transobturator tapes (TOT), retropubic tapes (TVT) or single-incision tapes (mini-slings). The overall incidence of de novo OAB was 11.5% in nonrandomized studies (280 women) and 6.4% in randomized studies (50 women). In relation to the type of midurethral sling, the incidence of de novo OAB was 9.7% for mini-slings, 11.2% for TVT-O, 8.7% for TOT and 9.8% for TVTs. The chi-squared test did not reveal significant differences (p = 0.58).
conclusionsCurrent evidence suggests that the overall incidence of de novo OAB following midurethral sling procedures is approximately 9%. There is not enough evidence to support differences in the effects of the different types of sling with regard to this particular postoperative complication.
