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
introduction and hypothesisLaparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh is an effective technique for apical prolapse repair. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of meshless laparoscopic lateral suspension in patients with advanced stage pelvic organ prolapse.
methodsThis study was conducted prospectively on patients with apical defects who had stage 3 or greater pelvic organ prolapse. The cervix or vaginal cuff was below the hymen in all patients. POP-Q measurements were performed. Meshless laparoscopic suspension was performed with a nonabsorbable suture. Perioperative complications were also noted. The patients were followed up. Late postoperative results at 36 months were noted. Objective cure was defined as POP-Q stage < II in any compartment. Objective cure rate and pelvic organ prolapse quantification system score were the main outcome measures.
resultsA total of 32 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 54.97 ± 13.31 years. Laparoscopic meshless suspension was performed in all patients under general anesthesia. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed in 25 patients (78.1%). Other concomitant procedures were uterosacral ligament plication, laparoscopic cystocele repair, retropubic TVT, BURCH colposuspension, and posterior colporaphy. The median pelvic organ prolapse quantification score was significantly lower at 36 months postoperative. We calculated the objective cure rate for meshless laparoscopic lateral suspension for apical defects to be 81.3% at the 36-month follow-up.
conclusionsLaparoscopic meshless lateral suspension is a novel technique with promising initial results that require further evaluation.
