Quality of life outcomes after transobturator tape full removal surgeries: A monocentric experience.
Article in BJUI compass, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Objective: The objective of this study is to describe a standardised technique of full TOT removal with groin dissection and to report clinical improvement, satisfaction, safety and long-term functional, quality of life (QoL) and sexual QoL outcomes. Materials and methods: A retrospective review enrolling all women who had full TOT removal, in a tertiary referral centre from May 2017 to November 2020. Functional outcomes, satisfaction and QoL were assessed using a bespoke composite questionnaire (UDI-6, EQ-5D-5L and ICIQ-S) with additional questions on sexual QoL. Secondary outcomes were post-operative recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and complication rate according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Results: Full TOT removal using a vaginal approach and bilateral groin/para-labial incisions was performed in 67 patients. Chronic pelvic pain was the main indication for mesh removal (51% of cases, Conclusion: Despite a high rate of postoperative bothersome SUI, full TOT removal with bilateral groin dissection improves pain and QoL. It is associated with a high overall satisfaction rate and an acceptable rate of complications.
