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 hypothesisUnrecognized bladder perforation of a tension-free sling is a rare situation. Removal of the intravesical sling has been done by laparotomy or transurethrally. With technique presented here we want to show a minimally invasive approach that allows complete removal of the intraluminal sling material, located at the bladder neck.
methodsThis video shows a novel combined transurethral and suprapubic approach for radical removal of the mesh. Two 3.5-mm trocars were placed suprapubically into a filled bladder. One site was used for an optic with camera and the other for a 3.5-mm grasping forceps to apply tension on the mesh to pull it out of the bladder wall while it was being excised transurethrally with a cystoscope and transurethral scissors.
resultsThe patient's postoperative course was uneventful. At 1-month follow-up, the patient was free of dysuria and cystoscopy revealed complete healing of the mesh site. Because of recurrent stress urinary incontinence, another continence sling surgery has been performed (TVT exact). After a follow-up of 2 years, she is continent and free of dysuria.
conclusionsThis novel technique provides an effective means of removing mesh perforated into the bladder, located at the bladder neck, using a combined transurethral and suprapubic approach. The technique is minimally invasive and the applied traction allows complete removal of the intraluminal part of the mesh.
