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 hypothesisSacrospinous hysteropexy is one of the preeminent uterus-preserving surgical techniques for treating pelvic organ prolapse supported by level one evidence. As training on models greatly improves surgical skills and outcomes, we developed a simple and inexpensive model to simulate sacrospinous hysteropexy.

methodsA step-by-step instruction for the production of the model is available to be viewed online. To keep production costs low, readily available materials were used, with a total cost per model of about 2 EUR (Austria, August 2023). All important anatomical landmarks (prolapsing uterus, vagina, ischial spine and sacrospinous ligament) were all represented. We present a detailed instructional video on how to construct the model and the practical training, detailing the individual steps of a successful sacrospinous hysteropexy, available online. Thus, trainees are able to practice the individual movements of the entire surgical procedure on this simulator model guided by the tutorial video. In this way, trainees will be able to practice the entire surgical procedure.

resultsAn introduction to the model with explanation of all anatomical landmarks and a standardised explanation of the surgery with its individual steps (handout distributed).

conclusionThe presented video showcases the feasibility of the easy construction and application of a model for the surgical skill training of sacrospinous hysteropexy. Easily accessible, inexpensive material and its simple build make this a reproducible model regardless of geographic or socioeconomic resources.
