A Randomised Trial on the Effects of the Addition of Uterosacral Ligament Plication to Pectopexy Operation on Anatomical Restoration and Female Sexual Functions.

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 hypothesisThe objective was to determine whether the addition of uterosacral ligament plication to pectopexy for pelvic organ prolapse increases anatomical improvement and female sexual functioning.
methodsThis is a prospective randomised study. Forty patients who underwent laparoscopic pectopexy (LP) and laparoscopic pectopexy with uterosacral ligament plication (LPUSL) were included in the study. A total of 38 patients were evaluated in the study. Patients were assessed by the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system and the patients who had symptomatic apical prolapse POP-Q ≥ II were included in the study. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at the 3rd, 6th and 12th month, with respect to anatomical changes as well as sexual function.
resultsA statistically significant difference was found when the preoperative C points was compared with the C points postoperatively, at 3rd, 6th and 12th months in both the LP and LPUSL groups (p < 0.001). Additionally, there were statistically significant difference between the LP and LPUSL groups in terms of C and Aa points at the 6th and 12th postoperative months in favour of the LPUSL group (p = 0.007, p = 0.005 respectively). There was also a statistically significant difference when Ba points were compared between the two groups at the 12th postoperative month, in favour of the LPUSL group (p = 0.002). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with respect to the variables of the Female Sexual Function Index. Additionally, all parameters were significantly better in both groups at the 3rd and 12th months than the preoperative values in post hoc analysis; only desire also had a significant improvement between the 3rd and 12th months in the LPUSL group in post hoc analysis.
conclusionPectopexy operation seems to be a successful surgical approach as an alternative to sacrocolpopexy. The addition of uterosacral ligament plication to pectopexy operation improves the anatomical restoration more drastically than with LP on its own. Moreover, either LP or LPUSL has improved the majority of sexual function indices.
