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

objectivesTo report 12-year experience with replacing transvaginal mesh (TVM) with fascia lata autograft.

methodsThis was a chart review of TVM removal and replacement with a fascia lata autograft placement by a single surgeon between 2005 and 2017. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system before and 1 year following the procedure, patient-reported recurrence of symptoms, changes in the POP-Q examination and complication rates are analyzed.

resultsTwenty-four patients were included. Mean age was 57.2 (95% CI 53.2-61.2) years. Mean number of days to Foley catheter removal was 3.2 days (95% CI 1.6-4.9) and mean number of days to drain removal was 10.9 days (95% CI 9.9-12.0). Following the surgery, no leg seroma, infection or numbness was reported. UTI occurred in four (16.7%) of the participants postoperatively. At 3-month follow-up, mild urinary symptoms were reported in five participants (20.8%). At 1-year follow-up, one participant was symptomatic of pelvic organ prolapse. Paired t-test analysis revealed statistically significant retraction of Aa and Ba vaginal points (p < 0.001). C, GH and PB points were also statistically significantly retracted.

conclusionFascia lata autograft for anterior compartment reconstruction due to TVM complications is associated with high safety and efficacy rates.
