TVT-O vs. TVT-Abbrevo for stress urinary incontinence treatment in women: a randomized trial.
Trial report 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 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
introductionTo compare the efficacy, safety and complications of the trans-obturator midurethral sling from inside to outside (TVT-O) and of the shorter trans-obturator midurethral sling (TVT-Abbrevo) for treatment of female SUI. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred fifty-eight recruited patients were randomized into either the TVT-O or TVT-Abbrevo group. Preoperative assessment included history and general assessment, urinalysis and urine culture, urogynaecological clinical examination, urodynamic evaluation and urogynaecologic interview by ICIQ-SF-UI, PGI-I and PISQ12. Operative time, perioperative complications, spontaneous voiding, postoperative complications and hospital stay were prospectively recorded in all patients. At 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after surgery, patients were asked to answer urogynaecological interviews by ICIQ-SF-UI, PGI-I and PISQ12. The urodynamic assessment was performed at 12, 24 and 36 months. Success rate was assessed at 12, 24 and 36 months postoperatively.
resultsOverall, 138 of 158 patients (87%) were cured of SUI 36 months after the operation with no significant differences between groups [69 (87%) and 69 (87%) patients in the TVT-O and TVT Abbrevo groups, respectively]. The two groups did not significantly differ in operative time, intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay. Nine patients (11%) had postoperative groin pain in the TVT-O group and one patient in the TVT Abbrevo group (p = 0.02). Three-year control demonstrated an equal objective cure rate in both groups. There was a significant improvement in total PISQ-12 and ICIQ-SF-UI scores in both groups at 36 months FU.
conclusionTVT-Abbrevo has similar efficacy and safety compared with TVT-O in women with SUI; the use of a shorter sling reduces postoperative pain.
