1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 hypothesisSacrocolpopexy (SCP) is the gold standard surgical management of apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and increasingly, minimally invasive SCP is being adopted as a primary treatment for advanced uterovaginal prolapse. Patients undergoing surgery for POP consider postoperative improvement in sexual function to be a highly important outcome, and sexual dysfunction and dyspareunia severe adverse events. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the impact of minimally invasive SCP on postoperative sexual function. We aimed to analyze the current literature available to discuss the impact of minimally invasive SCP on postoperative sexual function.

methodsWe performed a narrative review of minimally invasive SCP and its impact on sexual function. PubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception through 28 January 2024 for studies that reported sexual function following surgery for POP. Baseline and postoperative sexual activity, dyspareunia, and validated questionnaire scores for sexual function were documented.

resultsMinimally invasive SCP is associated with improved postoperative sexual function, increased rates of postoperative sexual activity, and low rates of dyspareunia. Dyspareunia was not associated with mesh related complications. Patients with baseline dyspareunia or pain were more likely to experience persistent dyspareunia after surgery.

conclusionThe rates of POP are increasing in our aging population, and sexual function is very important to patients undergoing surgery for POP. Clinicians should consider all factors related to sexual function when planning surgery for POP and address dyspareunia prior to surgery. Sexual function appears to improve overall after minimally invasive SCP and de novo dyspareunia rates are low.
