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

aimsTo compare the efficiency and complications of normal weight and overweight women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after surgery.

methodsWe searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library Databases to identify all compared results, including those involving the terms normal weight, overweight, body mass index (BMI), and SUI. After treatment with surgery, the efficiency (subjective cure rate, objective cure rate, UDI-6, and IIQ-7) and complications were compared between the normal weight and overweight groups.

resultsThe study inclusion criteria were met by 20 studies involving 3829 patients. The data synthesized from these studies indicated that the subjective and objective cure rates in the normal weight group were significantly more effective than those in the overweight group (RR 1.07; 95% CI 1.04-1.10; P < 0.00001; RR 1.24; 95% CI 1.18-1.30; P < 0.00001), while the IIQ-7 and UDI-6 were no different between the two groups (MD 0.07; 95% CI - 1.44 to 1.58; P = 0.93; MD 0.18; 95% CI - 1.24 to 1.60; P = 0.81). For the data of complications, only the urgency was more in the overweight group (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55-0.84, P = 0.0003).

conclusionsThe objective success rate and subjective success rate of the surgery were higher in normal weight patients than those in overweight patients. Also, the side effects between the two groups were not significantly different.
