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

backgroundStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common disease in women. The emergence of the needle-free sling has led to a new clinical treatment for SUI in women.

aimTo explore the clinical value of the needleless sling without acupuncture in the treatment of SUI in women.

methodsFrom February 2017 to November 2018, according to the order of admission, 44 patients (mid-suspension group) were treated by tension-free transobturator urethral suspension, and 44 patients (non-acupuncture group) were treated with a needleless non-acupuncture band. The clinical effects of the two treatments were evaluated.

resultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups in the total clinical effectiveness rate (

conclusionThe clinical effectiveness of acupuncture-free suspension in treating SUI in female patients is better than that of traditional tension-free transobturator mid-urethral suspension.
