Short-Term Functional Outcomes After Robot-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy versus Transvaginal Mesh Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to compare lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) undergoing robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC) or transvaginal mesh surgery (TVM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent RSC or TVM at our institution between August 2017 and December 2024. Patient demographics, surgical records, and questionnaire responses were collected. LUTS were evaluated using the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and Quality of Life (QOL) score. Preoperative and 1-month postoperative questionnaire responses were compared within each group using the Mann-Whitney Results: A total of 51 patients underwent RSC and 21 underwent TVM. No significant differences were observed in age, body mass index, or Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stage between the groups. The RSC group had a longer operative time (273 vs 127 minutes, p < 0.01) and less blood loss (10.0 vs 150 mL, p < 0.01). Both groups showed significant improvements in IPSS and QOL scores, whereas the OABSS did not change significantly. The RSC group had a significantly lower postoperative QOL score compared with the TVM group, but no significant differences were found after propensity score matching. No significant differences were observed between the groups in either the absolute changes or relative reductions of LUTS questionnaire scores. The incidence of de novo stress urinary incontinence was similar between the groups. Conclusion: Both RSC and TVM effectively improved LUTS in women with POP. After adjusting for baseline differences, no significant differences in postoperative voiding symptoms were observed between the two procedures. These findings support flexible surgical decision-making based on patient characteristics, perioperative risks, surgeon experience, and shared decision-making.
