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

The aim of the study is to evaluate anatomic and functional late-term outcomes of robotic mesh sacrocolpopexy (RMS) at a single tertiary-care institution. Following IRB approval, a retrospective chart review of a prospectively collected database on consecutive patients who underwent RMS for symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and had 3 year minimum follow-up was performed. Data collected included physical examination, validated questionnaires including Urogenital Distress Inventory, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, and global Quality of Life (QOL). The primary outcome was failure defined as the need for re-operation and/or prolapse recurrence by examination. Those with office follow-up < 36 months underwent structured phone interviews. Between 12/2007 and 2/2012, 56 women underwent RMS. Thirty women had follow-up ≥ 3 years (median 64 (IQR 48-85) months). Mean C-point went from - 2.33 (range 0 to - 5) to - 9.00 (0 to - 12) (p < 0.01), and mean QOL score from 3.93 (0-10) to 1.93 (0-8) (p < 0.01). Two developed recurrent vault prolapse later on at 26 and 34 months, respectively. Four women (13%) required surgery for secondary prolapses, with three for anterior compartment and one for posterior compartment. Sixteen of twenty six were contacted via structured phone interviews, with 14 doing well, one deceased, and one who underwent a secondary posterior compartment prolapse 6 years later at an outside facility. This long-term study indicates durability for RMS in the management of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse.
