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

Objective: To assess the impact of total urethral suspension with posterior pelvic floor reconstruction on sexual function in women with stress urinary incontinence(SUI) and concomitant vaginal laxity syndrome (VLS), including partner satisfaction. Methods: Clinical data from 150 pelvic floor dysfunction patients were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (March 2023-March 2024). Preoperative assessments included demographics, obstetric/surgical history, menopausal status, sexual activity and Results: The subjective cure rate for urinary incontinence was 86.67% with a 10.67% improvement rate. Significant improvements were observed in PISQ-12 scores (preoperative: 17.56 ± 5.56 vs. postoperative: 11.72 ± 4.23; Conclusion: The combined surgical procedure demonstrates significant therapeutic efficacy in managing SUI and concomitant VLS, with postoperative outcomes showing substantial improvements in both urinary continence and sexual function. Total urethral suspension provides comprehensive to treat SUI. Posterior pelvic floor reconstruction restores anatomical integrity by reducing the levator hiatus and reconstructing the perineal body, thereby normalizing vaginal axis alignment. The subsequent vaginal tightening achieved through these procedures significantly enhances sexual function for both patients and their partners.
