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

introduction and hypothesisThe laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) represents an alternative mesh procedure to avoid the dissection at the promontory. However, mesh-related complications such as chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and bladder pain are emerging. The present study is aimed to present a video case report and describe a small case series of patients referred to our center for chronic pelvic pain after LLS.

methodsA surgical video of the management of a 50-year-old woman with chronic abdominal and pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and recurrent urinary tract infection (UTIs) after uterus sparing LLS is provided. Moreover, we performed a retrospective chart review of similar cases in our institution.

resultsThe featured procedure was completed without complications and was successful in obtaining symptom relief. Between 2018 and 2022 five patients underwent total or subtotal mesh removal for pain-related symptoms after LLS. At the median follow-up of 24 months, all patients were free from pain, but two (40%) required reoperation for prolapse recurrence

conclusionsOur experience suggests that LLS involves a certain risk of chronic pelvic pain, which may be challenging to manage and require surgical treatment.
