Pelvic organ prolapse patients' attitudes and preferences regarding their uterus: comparing German- and Russian-speaking women.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2019. 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 hypothesisThe aim of this study was to compare preferences of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) regarding their uterus between German- and Russian-speaking areas.
methodsSix urogynecologic tertiary referral centers participated in this prospective study: three centers from German-speaking countries and three from different regions of Russia. To assess the uterus-related preferences as well as the attitude toward hysterectomy versus uterus-sparing prolapse surgery, we developed a structured questionnaire that included 5-point Likert scales related to benefit of uterus (BOU) and benefit of not having uterus (BNU). Each scale consisted of 12 items (range of possible scores: 12-60). Finally, patients were asked if they preferred uterus removal or preservation when undergoing prolapse surgery.
resultsOne hundred and seventy-eight German-speaking and 206 Russian-speaking patients were included in the study. There was no significant difference in patients' preference before undergoing POP surgery regarding uterus preservation versus hysterectomy between German- and Russian-speaking patients: 40% of German-speaking and 54% of Russian-speaking patients preferred to retain their uterus before undergoing POP surgery. Comparison of BOU mean scores showed a significant difference between groups: 20.6 ± 6.7 for German-speaking compared with 32.5 ± 9.1 for Russian-speaking patients (p < 0.01). The Russian-speaking group had significantly higher mean scores on domains sexuality, body image, and partnership of the BOU scale (2.6 ± 1.0 vs. 1.8 ± 0.9 for sexuality; 2.4 ± 1.1 vs. 1.5 ± 0.7 for body image, and 2.6 ± 0.9 vs. 1.6 ± 0.7 for partnership domains; p < 0.05).
conclusionsAlthough a large proportion of German- and Russian-speaking patients prefers uterus preservation when undergoing prolapse surgery, the uterus was more important for sexuality, partnership, and body image in Russian-speaking patients.
