Pectopexy vs sacrocolpopexy: an analysis of 50 cases in a North American hospital.
Article in AJOG global reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundLaparoscopic pectopexy is an alternative to sacrocolpopexy that was first reported in 2010. This procedure has been performed at our hospital since 2019 in patients with contraindications to sacrocolpopexy.
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the outcomes of 50 cases of pectopexy with historical outcomes data for sacrocolpopexy. STUDY
designThis was a retrospective review of 50 laparoscopic pectopexies performed from July 2020 to July 2022 at an academic tertiary referral center; this was the second reported use of this technique in North America. The outcomes from laparoscopic pectopexy were compared with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy performed at the same institution by the same surgeons (n=207). The primary outcomes were complication rate, rate of recurrent prolapse (stage II or greater), and reoperation.
resultsOverall complication rates were 6.0% for pectopexy and 16.5% for sacrocolpopexy (relative risk, 0.79;
conclusionAlthough pectopexy was typically employed in patients with extensive pelvic adhesions or other conditions that placed them at higher risk of complications, both the success rate and the adverse event rate were similar to those in the historical cohort who underwent sacrocolpopexy. Although sacrocolpopexy remains the gold standard operation for apical prolapse, our data suggest that pectopexy can be employed to offer similar outcomes in many patients with contraindications to sacral fixation. These data give us increasing confidence that we can counsel our patients that this operation is likely to produce an outcome similar to a sacrocolpopexy.
