The clinical and urodynamic outcomes of single-incision mesh surgery using the Uphold system for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.

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
This retrospective cohort study aims to assess the clinical and urodynamic outcomes of single-incision mesh surgery with the Uphold system. The medical records of 140 women with anterior and/or apical compartment prolapse stage 2 or greater who underwent Uphold mesh surgeries were reviewed. The clinical evaluation included a pelvic examination, a urodynamic study (UDS), and a personal interview to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). After a follow-up time of 12-30 months, the anatomical reduction rates were 100% and 96.4% for the apical and anterior compartments, respectively, and these rates were similar across women with or without hysterectomy. All of the LUTS and several UDS parameters improved significantly. The continence rate in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was improved if they also underwent a mid-urethral sling (MUS) operation. However, the continence rate did not differ between women with and without occult urodynamic stress incontinence who did not undergo a concomitant MUS operation. The rate of vaginal mesh extrusion was 2.8%, and this complication rarely occurred beyond the learning curve. In conclusion, the anatomic correction of the Uphold system was satisfactory with a low rate of mesh extrusion. Women with SUI would benefit from a concomitant MUS operation.
