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: The prolapse quality-of-life (P-QOL) questionnaire is frequently used to assess changes in symptoms before and after surgery in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This study investigated whether P-QOL scores were significantly affected by pre- and postoperative conditions in patients with surgically treated POP. Materials and Methods: The study enrolled 158 patients who underwent surgery for POP at our hospital between May 2016 and May 2023. Seventy-two patients underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC), whereas 86 underwent transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery. To evaluate the POP-related conditions, the 60-min pad test and the Japanese version of P-QOL were used before surgery and 6 and 12 months after surgery. Results: In patients with stage 4 POP, all P-QOL component scores, except for sleep/energy, significantly declined after surgery in the LSC group. Conversely, some component scores did not show a significant difference after the surgery in the TVM group. No significant differences in the rate of urinary incontinence, mesh exposure, or prolapse recurrence (PR) were observed between the two groups; however, the rate of PR was much higher in the TVM group than in the LSC group, although no significant differences were found in patients with stage 4 POP. Accordingly, some P-QOL component scores were significantly higher in the TVM group than in the LSC group (all Conclusion: The surgical outcomes of POP have a significant effect on P-QOL. Postoperative conditions can be evaluated using P-QOL scores.
