Current techniques used to perform surgery for anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse in South Korea.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the current surgical techniques for anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse repair in South Korea.
methodsA web-based questionnaire survey was sent to 780 members of the Korean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The items assessed in the questionnaire were the demographic characteristics and current surgical techniques used for the correction of anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse.
resultsThe response rate was 16%. There were variations in the suture materials and methods used for anterior and posterior colporrhaphy. Most respondents used only rapid absorbable suture materials to plicate the fibromuscular layer and close the mucosal layer of the anterior and posterior vaginal wall. Simple interrupted sutures are the most popular suture method for both the fibromuscular and mucosal layers. Thirty-one and eleven percent of the respondents used mesh for surgical correction of anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse, respectively. Concomitant perineorrhaphy was routinely performed with posterior vaginal wall repair by 42% of the respondents, whereas 58% performed perineorrhaphy only in cases with perineal defects.
conclusionThere is considerable diversity in the current surgical techniques for anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse repair in Korea. Further research is required to standardize the surgical techniques.
