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

Objectives: Patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) tend to have urinary storage symptoms. The prolapse quality of life questionnaire (P-QOL) is used to assess POP-related symptoms. However, whether the P-QOL can evaluate storage conditions before and after POP surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether the P-QOL could be used to assess storage dysfunction in patients with POP undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC). Materials and Methods: Ninety-seven patients who underwent LSC at our institution were enrolled in this study. The correlation between the selected P-QOL component question scores and the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) was evaluated. Differences in the selected P-QOL component question scores between the OABSS ≥3 and ≤2 groups were compared before and after surgery. The changes in the postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), selected P-QOL component question scores, and OABSS were also examined. Results: Spearman's correlation coefficient by rank test between the total selected P-QOL component question scores and OABSS revealed significant correlations before and after surgery. The box plots also showed a significant difference in the total selected P-QOL component question scores between the OABSS ≥3 and ≤2 groups before and after surgery. The PVR, selected P-QOL component question scores, and OABSS were significantly decreased after surgery compared with those before surgery. Conclusion: The specific P-QOL component question scores could function as a substitute for the OABSS in patients with POP undergoing LSC. These scores may provide relatively accurate insights into the storage conditions before and after LSC.
