1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe objective was to evaluate pain and dyspareunia in women undergoing minimally invasive total hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy (TLH + SCP) with a light-weight polypropylene mesh 1 year after surgery.

methodsThis is a planned secondary analysis of a randomized trial comparing permanent (Gore-Tex) versus absorbable suture (PDS) for vaginal attachment of a y-mesh (Upsylon™) during TLH + SCP in women with stage ≥II prolapse. Patient data were collected at baseline and 1 year after surgery. Our primary outcome was patient-reported pain or dyspareunia at 1 year.

resultsTwo hundred subjects (Gore-Tex n = 99, PDS n = 101) were randomized and underwent surgery. Overall, the mean age ± SD was 60 ± 10 years, and BMI was 27 ± 5 kg/m

conclusionsThe majority of women report resolution of pain 1 year following TLH + SCP with a low rate of de novo pain.
