Postoperative void trial failure and same-day discharge following apical pelvic organ prolapse surgery: a retrospective matched case-control study.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introduction and hypothesisRobust data comparing the timing of voiding trials following prolapse surgery are lacking. Filling in these knowledge gaps would be helpful in counseling patients preoperatively about the concerns regarding same-day discharge. We aimed to compare the rate of a failed void trial after apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair between patients who were discharged on the day of surgery versus those discharged on postoperative day 1.
methodsThis was a retrospective matched case-control study of women who underwent either a laparoscopic/robotic or transvaginal apical POP surgery with or without concurrent hysterectomy. Patients who were discharged on postoperative day 0 (POD0) were identified as cases and matched to control patients discharged on postoperative day 1 (POD1). Patients were matched 1:1 based on age and surgical approach.
resultsA total of 59 patients in each group met the inclusion criteria. Of the entire cohort, 34 (28.8%) patients failed their void trial, with no statistically significant difference between those who were discharged on POD0 versus POD1 (33.9% vs 23.7%, p=0.47). Patients who were discharged on POD0 were more likely to be diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (22.0% vs 8.4%, p=0.041) during the postoperative period.
conclusionsIn patients undergoing surgery for apical prolapse, there was no difference in the rate of void trial failure in those who had a catheter removal on the day of surgery compared with those who experienced removal the following day.
