Activity Restrictions After Midurethral Sling: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Urogynecology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2026. 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
importancePostoperative activity restrictions can affect patient satisfaction after midurethral sling (MUS) surgery.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to assess the effect of a duration of postoperative activity restrictions on patient satisfaction and surgical outcomes after MUS surgery for stress urinary incontinence. STUDY
designWomen undergoing MUS surgery alone for stress urinary incontinence were enrolled in this provider-blinded, randomized clinical trial. Randomization to either 3- or 6-weeks' duration of activity restrictions was assigned. Restrictions included abstaining from lifting greater than 20 pounds, high-impact activity, or strenuous exercise. Primary outcome was patient satisfaction with surgery, using a 5-point Likert patient satisfaction scale. Satisfaction scores were analyzed in a "complete satisfaction" ("completely" satisfied only) and a "higher satisfaction" approach (both "completely" and "mostly" satisfied). Secondary outcomes included objective and subjective assessment of incontinence symptoms and activity assessment.
resultsNinety-eight women underwent MUS surgery between July 2021 and September 2022, and 88 were randomized. Of them, 41 and 43 women with 3- and 6-week restrictions had patient satisfaction data, respectively. Baseline characteristics did not differ between groups. At the 6-month postoperative visit, overall patient satisfaction ("completely" and "mostly" satisfied) was very high at 92%. Complete satisfaction was significantly higher in the 3-week (73.2%) versus the 6-week restriction group (51.2%) ( P = 0.04). "Higher satisfaction" did not reach a statically significant difference between groups ( P = 0.11). Subjective urinary incontinence indices did not differ between groups.
conclusionsReturn to normal activities 3 weeks after MUS surgery resulted in significantly higher satisfaction scores at 6 months compared to a 6-week restriction without compromising subjective and objective surgical success.
