A modified sling mid-urethral suspension + subcutaneous tunnel-double point fixation technique for male stress urinary incontinence: a pilot study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of a modified sling mid-urethral suspension + subcutaneous tunnel-double point fixation technique for the treatment of male urinary incontinence and to preliminarily evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of this technique. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe clinical data of patients treated with the modified sling mid-urethral suspension + subcutaneous tunnel-double point fixation technique using a Pelvimesh pelvic floor repair patch as a sling were collected. The primary evaluation criteria were surgery-related indicators and daily urinal pad usage before and after treatment, and the secondary evaluation criteria were the corresponding incontinence scores and the results of surgery-related questionnaires.
resultsAfter 1-12 months of follow-up, seven patients were clinically cured. Follow-up 1 month after surgery showed that one patient (14.3%) used one pad daily, and six patients (85.7%) did not need pads. The incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL) scores at 3 days and 1 month postoperatively were 89.4 ± 2.5 and 88.1 ± 6.7, respectively, which were significantly higher than the preoperative scores (31.5 ± 18.9) (P < 0.05). The scores of the International Continence Control Association Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICI-Q-SF) at 3 days and 1 month postoperatively were 3.2 ± 0.9 and 4.2 ± 1.7, respectively, which were significantly lower than the preoperative scores of 19.4 ± 5.0 (P < 0.05). In addition, the results of the surgery-related questionnaires were positive. No serious complications occurred in any of the patients.
conclusionThe modified sling mid-urethral suspension + subcutaneous tunnel-double point fixation technique for the treatment of male urinary incontinence patients is safe, effective, minimally invasive, and has few complications. However, further validation in large sample, randomized, comparative, and longer-term follow-up studies is still needed.
