Complex pelvic organ prolapse: decision-making algorithm.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2019. 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
purposeThe pelvic floor is considered as a single anatomical and functional unit, consisting of several structures that suspend the pelvic organs maintaining their function. For this reason, a multi-compartmental prolapse is a common disease that needs a multidisciplinary pelvic floor team in order to be treated. The aim of the authors is to suggest a treatment algorithm to better approach complex pelvic organ prolapse.
methodsA multidisciplinary pelvic floor team was set up 7 years ago. Starting from the literature review integrated with a team experience, a decision-making algorithm was drawn up. It was used to guide all the shared treatment for the complex pelvic floor disorders.
resultsAn accurate preoperative assessment with a shared diagnosis among the specialist is the base to follow the proposed algorithm. It leads to combine different surgical procedures considering advantages and disadvantages which may have an influence on the final outcome.
conclusionsThe proposed algorithm provides an integrated surgical view of complex pelvic floor disorders. It shows how is it feasible to associate surgical treatments of different compartments to obtain good pelvic floor anatomical and functional results and leading to an improvement of the patients' quality of life.
