The effect of prolapse surgery on voiding function.
Observational study 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 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 hypothesisOf women with symptomatic prolapse, 13-39% experience voiding dysfunction (VD). The aim of our observational cohort study was to determine the effect of prolapse surgery on voiding function.
methodsRetrospective analysis of 392 women who underwent surgery between May 2005 and August 2020. All had a standardized interview, POP-Q, uroflowmetry and 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) pre-and postoperatively. Primary outcome was change in VD symptoms. Secondary outcomes were changes in maximum urinary flow rate (MFR) centile and post-void residual urine (PVR). Explanatory measures were change in pelvic organ descent as seen on POP-Q and TPUS.
resultsOf 392 women, 81 were excluded due to missing data, leaving 311. Mean age and BMI were 58 years and 30 kg/m
conclusionsProlapse repair significantly reduces symptoms of VD and improves PVR and flowmetry.
