Laparoscopic partial sacrocolpopexy mesh resection due to mesh infection.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeSacrocolpopexy is considered the gold-standard procedure for apical compartment prolapse and has become a widely used intervention strategy. The mesh material used in the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse is associated with significant complications in some cases, frequently managed conservatively but sometimes necessitating mesh excision for symptom relief.
methodsIn this video we present the case of a 49-year-old woman who after sacrocolpopexy reported foul-smelling discharge as the only symptom. The patient was treated with vaginocervical seroma debridement and removal of large parts of the mesh and paravaginal tissue. A methodical procedure including retroperitoneal dissection along with identification of the anatomical landmarks is critical in cases of suspected mesh infection and facilitates the procedure.
resultsThe operation does not include a complete mesh excision in order to avoid major surgery and to reduce the risk of recurrent prolapse. In the follow-up visits at 1 and 6 months postoperatively the patient was asymptomatic.
conclusionSynthetic mesh activates an inflammatory process that leads to surrounding tissue fibrosis and scar tissue formation that can distort the pelvic anatomy (Chamsy and Lee in J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 21(6):986, 2014), thereby making dissection more difficult. This surgical procedure requires a comprehensive knowledge of the pelvic anatomy and a methodical surgical strategy.
