Vaginal cystocele repair and hysteropexy in women with anterior and central compartment prolapse: efficacy and safety after 30 months of follow-up.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
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 hypothesisThe aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of vaginal native tissue repair and uterine suspension after a follow-up of at least 1 year.
methodsWe included all consecutive women with an anterior vaginal prolapse of stage II or higher and a concomitant uterine prolapse of stage II who underwent this surgical procedure. We considered women with a descensus with maximum point of less than -1 in any compartment as objectively cured. Overall success was defined as no prolapse symptoms, together with a Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) score of 2 or less, prolapse of stage lower than II, and no need for other surgery.
resultsA total of 102 patients underwent this surgical procedure during the study period and met all the inclusion criteria for statistical analysis. The mean follow-up was 31 ± 8.2 months; no patient was lost to follow-up. Five patients (4.9%) showed postoperative complications. In terms of subjective outcomes, at the last available follow-up, failure of this surgical procedure was seen in 2% of patients. The objective cure rate and the overall cure rate were the 95.1%. No significant deterioration in objective cure rates was observed over time (p = 0.6).
conclusionsVaginal repair and hysteropexy appear to be an effective and safe option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse.
