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 hypothesisThe primary aim was to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) category on objective and subjective cure following single incision sling (SIS) surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The secondary aim was to compare outcomes among different SIS types within and across BMI categories.

methodsThis retrospective study included 636 women (mean age 57.4 ± 10.4 years) with urodynamic SUI who underwent SIS using the Ophira, Solyx, or I-stop mini between 2015 and 2023. Patients were stratified into BMI categories: normal (< 25 kg/m

resultsObjective and subjective cure rates differed across BMI categories, with the highest rates observed in patients with normal BMI (93.1% and 90.5%) and the lowest in obese patients (77.8% and 75%). Within each BMI category, cure rates did not differ significantly by sling type. However, when outcomes were examined across BMI categories for individual sling types, fixed-length SIS (Ophira and Solyx) showed a significant decline in cure rates with increasing BMI, whereas the adjustable length I-stop mini maintained more consistent outcomes. Independent risk factors for failure included age ≥ 66, menopause, intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD), and maximal urethral closure pressure (MUCP) < 40 cm H

conclusionsBMI category is associated with SIS outcomes, with obese patients demonstrating lower cure rates compared with normal BMI patients. While sling type does not influence outcomes within BMI groups, preoperative counseling is essential for high-risk patients.
