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

introductionA 57-year-old patient was referred to our tertiary referral urogynecology unit due to persistent and profuse vaginal discharge 1 year after undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with subtotal hysterectomy for apical prolapse. During clinical examination, abundant yellowish discharge from the cervix was observed. Creatinine testing and Uro-CT excluded vesicovaginal or ureterovaginal fistulas and large abscesses. However, owing to suspected infection and the patient's poor quality of life, a decision was made to proceed with laparoscopic revision. RESULTS AND

methodsIntraoperatively, transcervical injection of ICG (indocyanine green) successfully illuminated a hidden retroperitoneal sinus and a low-volume abscess extending to the sacral promontory. Therefore, the previously installed mesh and the cervix were removed in a challenging but complication-free procedure. The patient was followed up after 3 months, remaining asymptomatic and satisfied with the outcome.

conclusionsManaging complications following laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy requires thorough clinical and instrumental evaluation. In this case, the strategic use of ICG injection proved to be an innovative approach to visualizing hidden complications, offering valuable insights for handling complex scenarios.
