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

Background: Uterine-preserving procedures for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are favoured and are becoming increasingly popular. Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) presacral-uterosacral hysteropexy is a novel native tissue repair for POP. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of this uterine-preserving procedure and its midterm efficacy in treating POP. Methods: Between December 2020 and December 2022, patients with symptomatic POP who underwent vNOTES presacral-uterosacral hysteropexy at a tertiary teaching hospital were retrospectively analysed. The patient characteristics, follow-up outcomes, and complications were recorded and analysed. Main Outcomes Measures: We investigated anatomical success, subjective improvement, perioperative parameters, and operative complications. Results: Fifty-eight patients (median age 41 years) completed a mean 24.4-month (± 6.8) follow-up. There were two women (3.4%) who experienced recurrence. There was a significant improvement in POP-Q scores in all compartments at the last follow-up compared to the baseline ( Conclusions: vNOTES presacral-uterosacral hysteropexy may be a safe and feasible technique for women with POP who desire to preserve their uterus. This procedure demonstrates promising medium-term anatomical and subjective outcomes in treating POP. What is New?: This is a new mesh-free surgical procedure that combines the benefits of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy and vNOTES uterosacral ligament hysteropexy to treat women with POP who desire uterine preservation, aiming to gain long-term anatomical success and minor complications.
