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
Objective To evaluate the impact of single-incision mini-sling (SIMS) surgery on anxiety symptoms in women with moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI), using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Methodology A prospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary urogynecology center (December 2022-January 2023). Forty-three women with SUI or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI; co-occurrence of stress and urgency symptoms) undergoing SIMS were assessed preoperatively and at three months postoperatively using STAI, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ), Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (FLUTS), and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I)/Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S). Women with prior incontinence surgery or pelvic organ prolapse were excluded; current psychotropic medication use with anxiolytic/antidepressant effects (e.g., Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), benzodiazepines, Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors/Tricyclic Antidepressants (SNRIs/TCAs), buspirone, atypical antipsychotics, mood stabilizers) was also excluded. STAI-State and STAI-Trait were primary outcomes; total STAI was secondary. Results Postoperatively, 40 (93%) participants achieved continence (negative cough stress test). Mean total STAI decreased from 50.6 ± 8.3 to 45.8 ± 7.3 (
