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

purposeFew studies exist comparing the effect of different lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTDs) on anti-incontinence surgery. This study investigates the long-term therapeutic outcome of a suburethral sling procedure among women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and different LUTDs.

methodsThis study retrospectively reviewed 401 women treated with a suburethral sling for SUI. Following baseline videourodynamic findings, the patients were divided into pure SUI or SUI with concomitant LUTD (mixed detrusor overactivity and SUI, low detrusor contractility and SUI, and presence of bladder outlet obstruction and SUI) groups. The primary endpoint was the SUI-free-specific survival rate. A successful outcome was defined as the absence of any SUI event. The secondary endpoints included postoperative complications, surgical revision rate, and changes in videourodynamic parameters.

resultsAt a mean follow-up of 5.1 (standard deviation: 5.4, range 0.1-24.1) years, the median cumulative duration of SUI-free survival was 15.4 years and 15.9 years in the pure SUI and SUI and concomitant LUTD subgroup, respectively, without significant difference between the groups. No between-group difference in postoperative complications was also noted. The cumulative incidences of the overall reoperation rate were 15.3%, 11.6%, 30.9%, and 7.3% in the pure SUI, detrusor overactivity, low detrusor contractility, and bladder outlet obstruction subgroups, respectively, with a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.006).

conclusionsWomen who underwent suburethral sling surgery for SUI treatment had comparable long-term success rates regardless of baseline LUTD. However, those with low detrusor contractility may experience less favorable results in terms of higher reoperation rates.
