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
Background: Stress urinary incontinence is a frequent condition in female patients. Surgical treatment with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) insertion is a minimally invasive option with immediate improvement of symptoms. Different possible complications have been described in the literature. Obturator nerve entrapment is a very rare complication of retropubic (rp) TVT insertion. Objectives: To show the feasibility of robotic-assisted laparoscopic mesh removal in a case of rpTVT-related entrapment of the left obturator nerve. Materials and Methods: We present the case of a 55-year-old patient who suffered from left obturator nerve dysfunction with adductor muscle atony and neuralgia after insertion of rpTVT five years earlier in an external hospital for urinary stress incontinence. We show the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted nerve-sparing mesh removal. Main outcome measures: Post-interventional pain release and nerve and muscle function recovery. Results: Immediately after the surgical removal of the mesh and release of the left obturator nerve, the patient reported pain release and improvement of motoric function. Conclusions: Robotic-assisted surgery is a feasible minimally invasive alternative in the treatment of rpTVT-related obturator nerve entrapment.
