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

Recurrent apical prolapse after failed sacrocolpopexy poses a surgical challenge, with limited evidence on surgical treatments. This case series evaluates the feasibility and 1-year outcomes of sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) of the residual cervix in this setting. Three postmenopausal women with symptomatic recurrent apical prolapse underwent SSLF after prior laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. At 3- and 12-month follow-up, all patients showed sustained apical support (POP-Q C -8), with significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life (ICIQ-VS scores). Mild, asymptomatic anterior compartment descent was noted in two cases. SSLF of the cervix appears to be a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to redo sacrocolpopexy for selected patients with recurrent apical prolapse.
