Colpocleisis: reoperation risk and risk of uterine and vaginal cancer: A nationwide cohort 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 1 paper.
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 hypothesisWe aimed to evaluate the risk of reoperation and uterine (myometrial, endometrial, and cervical) and vaginal cancer after colpocleisis performed during the years 1977-2018. Furthermore, we also aimed to assess the development in colpocleisis procedures performed during the study period.
methodsDanish nationwide registers covering operations, diagnoses, and life events can be linked on an individual level owing to the unique personal numbers of all Danish residents. We performed a nationwide historical cohort study including women born before year 2000 who underwent colpocleisis between 1977 and 2018 (N = 2,228) using the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR). We followed the cohort until death/emigration/31 December 2018, whichever came first. Primary outcomes were number of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) operations performed after colpocleisis and uterine and vaginal cancer diagnosed after colpocleisis in a subgroup of women with the uterus in situ. This was assessed with cumulative incidences.
resultsDuring follow-up (median 5.6 years) 6.5% and 8.2% underwent POP surgery within 2 and 10 years after colpocleisis respectively. Within 10 years after colpocleisis 0.5% (N = 8) were diagnosed with uterine or vaginal cancer in the subgroup of women with their uterus (N = 1,970). During the study time 37-80 women underwent colpocleisis yearly and the mean age increased (77.1 to 81.4 years).
conclusionDespite smaller studies showing no recurrence after colpocleisis, we found that 6.5% underwent reoperation within 2 years. Few women were diagnosed with uterine or vaginal cancer after colpocleisis. The increased age at the time of colpocleisis indicates changed attitudes regarding surgical treatment for elderly women with comorbidities.
