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

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition characterized by involuntary urine leakage during physical exertion, affecting up to 50% of women over 40 years of age globally and significantly impacting their quality of life. Treatment options include both nonsurgical and surgical approaches, with synthetic midurethral slings being the most widely used surgical technique. While clinical history, physical examination, and urodynamic studies remain the cornerstone of SUI evaluation, ultrasound has gained increasing prominence as a complementary imaging modality. It is cost-effective and provides real-time assessment of both anatomical and functional aspects of the lower urinary tract. Notably, ultrasound also enables detailed evaluation of sling positioning and function, as well as identification and management of postoperative complications. This article aims to review the role of ultrasound in assessing synthetic slings, encompassing both preoperative planning and postoperative follow-up.
