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

Burch colposuspension is a well-established, mesh-free surgical technique for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Although lower urinary tract injuries may occur during the procedure, complications related to suture migration into the bladder are rare and may present years after surgery. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who presented with a one-year history of progressive dysuria, suprapubic pain, and dyspareunia. She had undergone laparoscopic Burch colposuspension eight years earlier. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed bladder stones, and urethrocystoscopy demonstrated migrated polypropylene suture material within the bladder lumen serving as a nidus for stone formation. Endoscopic holmium laser lithotripsy was performed, and both the stones and suture materials were successfully removed. The patient's symptoms resolved completely during follow-up. Suture migration following Burch colposuspension should be considered in patients presenting with chronic urinary symptoms and a history of incontinence surgery, regardless of the time elapsed since the procedure.
