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

backgroundMultiple surgical approaches have been provided for treating Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) combined with anterior vaginal wall prolapse (cystocele). However the optimal treatment remains a topic of ongoing debate. This systematic review and single-arm analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of midurethral sling (MUS) with concomitant anterior colporrhaphy (AC) for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence associated with grade 1-3 anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

methodsWe searched through multiple databases including, PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science using a well-established search strategy to identify studies assessing the outcomes of MUS with concomitant AC in women with SUI and grade 1-3 cystocele. Data was extracted from the relevant studies in a predefined excel sheet. Data analysis was accomplished by using OpenMeta [analyst] software.

resultsWe found 744 articles and included eight studies in the analysis. The pooled objective cure rate of SUI was 0.907 (95% CI 0.871 to 0.943), objective failure of SUI was 0.036 (95% CI 0.002 to 0.071), the subjective cure rate was 0.825 (95% CI 0.717 to 0.932), and the anatomical success rate for cystocele was 0.919 (95% CI 0.851 to 0.987). De novo urge urinary incontinence was reported in 12 of 81 patients, and four of 46 patients developed de novo OAB symptoms. Postoperative retention was noted in 5% of 405 patients. Long-term follow-up data from two studies indicated a durable effect.

conclusionMUS combined with AC is an effective option for treating SUI associated with grade 1-3 cystocele, with high rates of both objective and subjective cure.
