Transvaginal levator myorrhaphy for posthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse repair.
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 7 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 hypothesisPosthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse repair represents a surgical challenge. Surgical management can be successfully achieved with native-tissue repair through levator myorrhaphy. Despite low morbidity, levator myorrhaphy is not a common procedure. The aim of the video is to provide anatomic views and surgical steps necessary to achieve a successful transvaginal levator myorrhaphy for vaginal vault prolapse repair.
methodsA 72-year-old woman with symptomatic stage IV vaginal vault prolapse was admitted for transvaginal levator myorrhaphy according to the described technique.
resultsSurgical repair was successfully achieved without complications. The final examination revealed good apical support and preservation of vaginal length. This step-by-step video tutorial may represent an important tool to improve surgical know how.
conclusionsTransvaginal levator myorrhaphy provides an alternative technique for apical support without using prosthetic materials. This technique can be indicated when abdominal approach or synthetic device are not recommended or when peritoneum opening may be challenging. However, due to its possible constricting effect, it should be reserved to sexually inactive patients.
