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: Both transvaginal mesh surgery with wide arms (TVMWA) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) are effective surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with reportedly low recurrence rates. In the present study, we compared the postoperative outcomes of TVMWA and LSC. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 142 patients with POP who underwent LSC or TVMWA at our hospital. We measured the changes in lower urinary tract symptoms before and after surgery using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) plus Quality of Life (QOL) score, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short-Form (ICIQ-SF), postvoiding residual urine volume (PVR), and 60-min pad weight testing. Results: The median blood loss was much lower in the LSC group than in the TVMWA group. However, the median surgical duration was significantly longer in the LSC group than in the TVMWA group (both Conclusion: We conclude that both TVMWA and LSC are effective surgical methods of ameliorating POP. However, considering the burden such as longer operative time on the patient treated with LSC, we recommend more frequent employment of TVMWA.
