Positive effects of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy on anterior lateral defects and stress urinary incontinence.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2025. 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
objectiveLaparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is considered the gold standard for the correction of middle compartment (apical) prolapse. The extent to which simultaneous correction of the anterior compartment is necessary remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the anatomical and functional outcomes of the SCP on the anterior compartment with respect to the correction of central and lateral defects as well as stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
methodsThis was a retrospective clinical follow-up with records of recurrences and complications as well as effects on SUI after laparoscopic SCP with and without simultaneous vaginal correction at Elisabeth Hospital, Essen, Germany, from 2014-2020 in 65 of 86 patients, with an average follow-up of 3.3 years.
resultsWithout simultaneous vaginal correction of the anterior compartment, recurrence was more common in women with central defect POP-Q Ba > - 2.0 [4 of 8 patients without correction (50% recurrence) vs. 1 of 23 patients with correction (4% recurrence)]. The OR for recurrence with surgery was 0.05 (95% CI 0.01; 0.52, p < 0,001). In women with lateral defects of the anterior compartment with a POP-Q Ba > - 2.0, simultaneous vaginal correction was not necessary, with a low recurrence rate (1 of 18 recurrences, 6%). Preexisting SUI grade ≥ 1 could be corrected in 27 of 36 patients. (75%, p < 0,001) according to the SCP. Mesh erosion with reoperation (Clavien-Dindo IIIb) occurred in three patients (4.6%).
conclusionOverall, this study suggests that patients with a central defect of the anterior vaginal wall can benefit from additional vaginal correction as part of the SCP. Furthermore, existing incontinence improves with the correction of prolapse.
