Long-term compliance of vaginal pessaries: Does stress urinary incontinence matter?
Observational study in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Vaginal pessary treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is relatively safe and cost-effective. Since long-term use is an important key to keep the benefit of pessary treatment, we would like to investigate the factors which might affect the compliance of vaginal pessaries. In this retrospective study, 65 women were included, and we found poor compliance in women with severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after reduction (1-hour pad test >10 gm vs ≦10 gm, 57.1% vs. 84.3%, P = .027). Besides, women younger than 60 years-old also had poor compliance (age ≦60-year-old vs >60-year-old, 58.3% vs 83.0%, P = .04). Other factors such as POP stage, history of hysterectomy, and types of pessaries, did not show significant influence on the long-term compliance in this study. Therefore, to evaluate the severity of SUI after reduction before providing pessary treatment is important to predict long-term compliance. Meanwhile, long-term pessary treatment seems to be more acceptable to elderly patients.
