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

introduction and hypothesisThis study assesses the efficacy of the single-incision sling (SIS) versus the retropubic (RP) sling for women with urodynamic stress incontinence and intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) - mini RISD.

methodsThis was a multicenter randomized trial of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and ISD. The primary outcome was objective cure rate (negative clinical cough-stress test) at 6 and 12 months. The secondary outcomes were immediate and short-term complications and patient-reported outcomes at 6 and 12 months based on the International Consultation on Incontinence Urinary Incontinence Short Form, International Consultation on Incontinence Overactive Bladder, and Patient Global Impression of Improvement.

resultsBetween 2016 and 2022, a total of 112 eligible women were randomized: 58 received an RP sling and 54 received an SIS. All 112 women (100%) had a 6-month follow-up, and 108 women (96%) completed a 12-month follow-up. At 12 months, there was no difference in the objective and subjective cure rates. 74% in the SIS and 69% in the RP group reported improvement as "very much better or much better" (relative risk 0.91 [95% CI 0.62-1.3], p = 0.63). There was no difference in the post-operative complications. However, one SIS was removed for groin pain associated with pre-pubic placement; a further 2 patients in the RP group and 1 in the SIS group had sling loosening and 1 in the SIS group had sling division. Overall repeat surgery was RP sling for 2 women with recurrent SUI and 1 mesh excision for exposure in the RP group. Five women had repeat continence surgery (4 RP sling and 1 fascial sling) in the SIS group.

conclusionsFor women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency, both RP slings and SIS had high success rates, with low complication rates at 12 months.
