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 hypothesisLaparoscopic sacrocolpopexy(LSC) is widely performed and has been reported to safe and effective. However, statistical data on this technique are unavailable. Therefore, we designed the Japanese-style LSC, a further evolution of the French-style LSC, and initiated this multicenter study to prospectively evaluate its efficacy and safety. If the Japanese-style LSC is successful, we may be able to propose a more reliable and standardized procedure.

methodsThis is a prospective study of Japanese-style LSC. The Japanese-style LSC is characterized by the dissection of the vaginal walls as distally as possible and fixation of the mesh with multiple sutures; fixation of the mesh on the promontory without traction; and closure of the peritoneum with high-level peritoneal sutures. We examined the primary (anatomical recurrence, adverse events, and quality of life) and secondary endpoints (voiding symptoms and sexual function) at 3 years postoperatively.

resultsIn anatomical recurrence, 24 patients (9.2%) were ≥ stage2 in the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system at 3 years postoperatively, of which 4 (1.5%) and 20 (7.7%) were stages III and II respectively. No mesh-related complications were observed, and each questionnaire showed predominant improvement, except for sexual and evacuation functions.

conclusionsThe Japanese-style LSC demonstrated superior anatomical and functional results and we propose it to be an effective procedure.
