Female stress urinary incontinence surgery: 'Resurgence of the Titans'.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the trends in female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery in a UK tertiary referral center during five years before the July 2018 tape suspension and to compare it with National Health Service (NHS) England data. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study of female SUI procedures (bulking agents, mid-urethral sling [MUS], colposuspension, autologous fascial sling) in a single UK tertiary referral center between 2013 and 2018. The treatment choice was made through shared decision-making on the basis of national standardized information leaflets, patient's own research, and discussion/clarification with the surgeon. Data on NHS England SUI surgery between 2012 and 2018 were extracted from a retrospective review of the hospital episode statistics.
resultsBetween 2013 and 2018, 448 procedures for SUI were performed at our center. In contrast to a significant 31% decline in the total number of SUI procedures in NHS England in that time period, no decline in the number of SUI procedures occurred in our center. However, the distribution of SUI procedures did change significantly. MUS procedures declined significantly (46% total and 45% relative), whereas bulking agents and colposuspensions showed a clear relative rise (+11% and +30%). The distribution of SUI procedures in NHS England also changed significantly with a decline in MUS procedures (39% total and 11% relative) and an increase in bulking agents (82% total and 9% relative).
conclusionWhen all invasive treatment options are transparently presented to female patients with SUI, they prefer other surgical treatments as an alternative to MUS.
