Safety of non-absorbable tack fixation in laparoscopic ventral rectopexy for external and high-grade internal rectal prolapse: early outcomes from a single-centre cohort.

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
The optimal method for mesh fixation during laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR) remains debated, particularly regarding its impact on postoperative chronic pelvic pain and infectious complications. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and early outcomes of non-absorbable helical tack fixation in patients undergoing LVR for external rectal prolapse or high-grade internal prolapse Particular attention was paid to the identification and preservation of key neurovascular structures, including the right hypogastric nerve, L5-S1 intervertebral disc, and first sacral nerve. Mesh fixation over the sacral promontory was performed using three 5-mm non-absorbable helical tacks. Perioperative outcomes and postoperative pain recorded at 30 days, and 3 months were reported. Eighty-seven women underwent LVR between June 2023 and February 2025 (mean age 59.2 ± 12.8 years; BMI 23.5 ± 3.4 kg/m
