Obesity and its long-term impact on sacrocolpopexy key outcomes (OBELISK).
Observational study in International urogynecology journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 hypothesisSacrocolpopexy is the preferred contemporary approach to managing significant apical pelvic organ prolapse. Obesity is an established risk factor for several surgical procedures and can have a negative impact on outcomes. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of BMI on the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in women with pelvic organ prolapse.
methodsA single-center retrospective observational study of women undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2017.
resultsWe found 299 procedures: 82 (27.4%), 147 (49.2%) and 70 (23.4%) in women with BMI <25 (normal weight), BMI ≥ 25 - < 30 (overweight) and BMI ≥ 30 (obese), respectively. Perioperative and early postoperative complications were generally low and not statistically significantly different between the groups. At 12 months postoperatively, 81 (98.8%), 136 (92.5%) and 62 (88.6%) normal-weight, overweight and obese women attended their follow-up, respectively. All obese women attending the follow-up scored an overall Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) of ≤ 3. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) scores showed a significant improvement in all domains and were similar between the study groups. In total, there was one (0.4%) anatomical apical compartment failure, three (1.1%) anterior compartment failures and two (0.7%) posterior compartment failures with no significant differences between the groups. Similarly, there were no differences in functional outcomes or mesh position as assessed by ultrasound.
conclusionsThere were no differences in surgical, short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse in obese compared with non-obese women.
