Comparison of midurethral tape with autologous rectus fascial sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objectives: To compare the success rates of autologous fascial mesh (sling and transobturator tape [TOT]) with midurethral synthetic meshes (tension-free vaginal tape sling [TVT] and TOT) for stress urinary incontinence. Materials and methods: A literature search for studies published in English was conducted from May 10, 2022, to June 1, 2022. The search included MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, using the terms{"Autologous fascial slings"}OR {"AFS"} AND{"TOT"} OR {"Transobturator tape"} OR{"TVT"} OR{"Transvaginal tape"}. A total of 20 studies, including 10 randomized controlled trials, were selected for the review. RevMan software (version 5.3) was used to calculate the pooled effect estimates for operative and postoperative variables. Results: In the systemic review, 20 studies, including 10 randomized controlled trials, were assessed. In the TVT versus autologous pubovaginal sling (A-PVS) groups, the effect estimates for the surgical duration, catheter duration, success, and complication rates were more advantageous for TVT. However, in comparison to autologous transobturator tape groups, TOT provided better operative time and a shorter hospital stay. Moreover, in comparison to the A-PVS group, the TOT group was superior in terms of operating time, urethral catheterization, hospital stay, amount of residual urine, and wound complications. The A-PVS group had significantly more groin and thigh pain. Conclusions: During medium- and long-term follow-ups, the use of autologous rectus fascia grafts using a A-PVS or TOT provided similar complication rates and urinary continence results as using midurethral synthetic meshes (TVT and TOT).
