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
introductionTransvaginal mesh surgery (TVM) is a less invasive and time-efficient surgical technique for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, POP recurrence is a concern in patients treated with TVM using the ORIHIME (Kono Seisakusho, Japan, Tokyo) mesh. In this study, we investigated the influence of mesh-related factors on POP recurrence after TVM using ORIHIME.
methodsThe study enrolled 104 patients who underwent TVM at our hospital between July 2019 and March 2024. The Pearson chi-squared test, multiple logistic regression analysis, and Cox proportional hazards model were used to identify independent predictors of prolapse recurrence.
resultsAmong preoperative and intraoperative factors, POP stage 4 and mesh arm width < 6 cm were significantly associated with prolapse recurrence (both p <0.05). On multiple logistic regression analysis, only the mesh arm width < 6 cm was a significant predictor of recurrence (p = 0.0077). Additionally, in the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, only the mesh arm width < 6 cm was an independent predictor of shorter time to prolapse recurrence (hazard ratio, 8.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.70 - 41.35; p = 0.0089).
conclusionNarrow mesh arm width can contribute to POP recurrence after TVM using ORIHIME. Applying wider mesh arms can help minimize the POP recurrence rate.
