3-Year follow-up of tension-free vaginal tape-ABBREVO procedure for the treatment of pure urodynamic stress urinary incontinence: efficacy and adverse effects.
Article 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 6 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 tension-free vaginal tape ABBREVO (TVT-A) is a new surgical procedure for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, data reporting medium- and long-term outcomes are lacking. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of TVT-A in patients with at least a 3-year follow-up.
methodsAll consecutive women who complained of pure SUI symptoms with urodynamically proven SUI undergoing a TVT-A procedure were prospectively enrolled. Data regarding subjective outcomes (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, Patient Global Impression of Improvement and patient satisfaction scores), objective cure (stress test) rates and adverse events were collected during follow-up. Univariate analysis was performed to investigate outcomes.
resultsA total of 41 women underwent TVT-A implantation. At 3-year follow-up, 40 women (97.5%) were available for the evaluation. We did not find any significant change in surgical outcomes during this time. At 3 years after surgery, 36 of 40 (90%) patients were subjectively cured (p for trend 0.18) and 37 out of 40 (92.5%) patients were objectively cured (p for trend 0.22). The univariate analysis did not find any risk factor statistically associated with the recurrence of SUI. A significant trend of de novo overactive bladder (OAB) occurrence was registered at the 3-year follow-up (p for trend = 0.03). No serious late complications or groin-thigh pain were reported.
conclusionsTVT-A implantation is a highly effective option for the treatment of women with pure SUI.
