Perineoplasty, Pain, and Urinary Retention Following Native Tissue Vaginal Prolapse Surgery.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPerineoplasty is commonly performed at the time of pelvic reconstructive surgery. Data on the immediate postoperative complications from perineoplasty are sparse.
objectivePerineoplasty performed at the time of vaginal prolapse surgery increases postoperative urinary retention and pain.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients undergoing vaginal prolapse surgery with or without perineoplasty from 2014-2023 at an academic institution. Demographics, intra and postoperative characteristics, including pain scores, medical comorbidities, and surgical procedures performed, were compared. Postoperative urinary retention was defined as failing a retrograde voiding trial necessitating discharge home with a catheter. Acute postoperative pain in the postanesthesia care unit was assessed using a visual analogue scale. Multivariate and univariate analyses were completed.
resultsSeven hundred fifteen patients underwent vaginal native tissue repair surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Two hundred eighty-one (39%) eligible patients underwent perineoplasty. Patients who had a perineoplasty were more likely to have urinary retention when compared to those without perineoplasty (30.2% vs 19.1%, p < 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in immediate postoperative pain in patients that underwent perineoplasty.
conclusionsWe found a significant association between perineoplasty and postoperative urinary retention. Surgeons should discuss with their patients the risks and benefits of perineoplasty.
