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

purposeTo assess preoperative and perioperative characteristics associated with increased length of stay and major complications after mid-urethral sling mesh removal.

methodsWe performed an IRB-approved retrospective analysis of patients who underwent mid-urethral sling mesh removal. Demographic data and baseline surgical characteristics were collected. Operative reports and hospital/clinic notes were reviewed for complications which were categorized using the Clavien-Dindo Classification scheme. Length of stay was deemed abnormal if greater than 1 day. Complications were assessed using multivariate regression analysis.

resultsA total of 468 patients were identified as having undergone mid-urethral sling mesh removal. Mean age was 56 (± 11.1). 431 patients had either retropubic or transobturator slings. 241 patients underwent retropubic or groin exploration as a part of their mesh removal. A prolonged length of stay was noted in 73 patients (15.6%) and 13 patients (2.8%) experienced a Clavien Grade 3 complication. Pre-operative narcotic/benzodiazepine use, concomitant surgical procedure, bladder injury, increased ASA class, and major complications had an increased odds of a prolonged length of stay. Patients who experienced a bladder injury, groin/suprapubic incision, and estimated blood loss of over 400 mL had an increased odds of Clavien Grade 3 complications.

conclusionsPatient characteristics and perioperative factors are associated with increased length of stay and major complications after mid-urethral sling mesh removal.
