Vaginal Mesh Exposure Following Pessary Use After Transvaginal Mesh Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Vaginal pessaries are a widely used treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. They are considered minimally invasive, effective, and easy. However, pessary-related adverse events are sometimes underestimated. Here, we report on an important case of vaginal mesh exposure as a pessary complication. Case Presentation: A patient underwent transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, and after 10 years, had a mild recurrence. Gynecologists recommended that she use a pessary. After 3 years, she had vaginal bleeding and malodor. Gynecologists detected mesh exposure, but they downplayed the finding and continued pessary use. Two years after that, she came to our hospital and underwent mesh excision surgery. She had an uneventful postoperative course with no complications in the 2 years after the surgery. Conclusion: We propose that pessary use after mesh surgery can cause mesh exposure, which must not be ignored because it may lead to mesh infection and intra-abdominal abscess.
