Single-incision midurethral sling shows less pain and similar success rate in a short-term follow-up compared to the transobturator tape method in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

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
objectiveTo compare the efficacy, complications, quality of life, and patient satisfaction rates in women treated for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using the adjustable anchored single-incision midurethral sling (SIMS) and standard midurethral sling (MUS) procedures. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 113 women between October 2012 and October 2016 underwent either the adjustable SIMS (n=54) or MUS (n=57) procedure. The postoperative pain profile was assessed using a 10-point visual analog scale at the fixed time-point quality of life and an additional postoperative 3
resultsWomen in the SIMS group had a significantly lower postoperative pain profile for up to 3 weeks (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in perioperative complications and postoperative continence rates between the groups. With regard to Q1 and Q2, a significant difference was found between the groups (p=0.003 and p=0.002, respectively). While the questionnaire scores of the IIQ-7 and UDI-6 were also significantly improved at postoperative evaluations (p<0.001), there was no significant difference between the two groups.
conclusionSIMS is associated with a significantly improved postoperative pain profile and earlier return to work when compared to MUS.
