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.

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.

Abstract

introduction and hypothesisMesh implants were used in Australia until 2018 for managing pelvic organ prolapse. Owing to complications such as dyspareunia, mesh exposure, erosion and vaginal discharge, transvaginal mesh was removed from the market. Regenerative treatments such as transvaginal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and fractional CO

methodsFrom 2013 to 2024, women with mesh complications, including dyspareunia, vaginal discharge and/or vaginal mesh exposure (< 2 cm) awaiting surgery, were enrolled in this prospective study. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess IQR changes in Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification symptom severity, whereas a general linear model analysed outcome differences at baseline, 3-6 months and > 9 months. The primary aim was to assess the proportion of patients who avoided surgical intervention after PRP and CO

resultsA cohort of 47 women were eligible. The average age and body mass index were 64 years and 27.94 kg/m
