4D transperineal ultrasound: feedback for good obstetric anal sphincter injuries reparation.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 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
backgroundObstetric anal injury is the main risk factor for traumatic anal, faecal and flatus, incontinence in women in reproductive age. Its recognition and good reparation are crucial for long term outcomes. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a nulliparous woman who reported a fourth-degree perineal tear after delivery. The obstetric anal sphincter injury was repaired and a four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound was performed after reparation and then one and three months after discharge. The woman did not experience any incontinence and no points of discontinuity were observed at tomographic ultrasound imaging reconstruction. In this case, 4D-TPUS was a tool in the obstetrician's hands to evaluate the surgical success of OASIS repair, which requires some expertise.
conclusions4D-TPUS ultrasound is useful and reliable during immediate puerperium and in the subsequent follow-up, giving positive feedback on the correct positioning of the stiches and on a good healing process. Further studies are needed to demonstrate this usefulness in the operators training and for improving their surgical skills.
