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.

Abstract

backgroundThe aim of this study was to assess anatomical changes in the urethra at rest and during straining following sling surgery with and without transvaginal mesh surgery (TVM) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with or without pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using three-dimensional ultrasonography.

methods76 women with SUI with or without pelvic organ prolapse after sling surgery. They underwent sling surgery alone (S group, n=36) or concomitant TVM (M group, n=40). All patients underwent urinalysis, pelvic examinations, urodynamic study, 3D perineal ultrasonography, and personal interviews before and 1 year after surgery. The urethral area was calculated from the axial plane of perineal ultrasonography by multiplying

resultsThe axial area of the middle and distal urethra during straining was significantly smaller than at rest in both groups (P<0.001). In addition, the length of the short axis of the proximal urethra was significantly shorter in those undergoing sling surgery alone during straining compared with those undergoing concomitant sling and mesh surgery (P<0.001).

conclusionsThere was a greater impact on the proximal urethra in women who underwent sling surgery alone than those who underwent sling and TVM surgery together.
