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
objectivesPelvic organ prolapses (POP), a common condition among elderly women, frequently coexists with urinary incontinence (UI). Although concomitant anti-incontinence procedures during POP surgery might reduce postoperative SUI, they also increase the risk of urinary retention, voiding dysfunction and long-term mesh complications. This study aims to evaluate the urinary outcomes in women with advanced POP who underwent colpocleisis alone, without anti-incontinence surgery.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included all the consecutive patients who underwent colpocleisis between 2016 and 2023. Patients with concomitant anti-incontinence surgery or inability to follow up were excluded. Preoperative evaluation included demographics, medical history, pelvic ultrasound, POP quantification (POP-Q) staging, and ICIQ-UI-SF questionnaires. Total or partial colpocleisis was performed, and patients were reassessed using POP-Q and ICIQ-UI-SF, postoperatively.
resultsA total of 90 patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 69.2 ± 7.4 years and body mass index (BMI) 24.6 ± 3.5 kg/m
conclusionColpocleisis is a safe and effective surgical option for POP that is also able to significantly improve urinary incontinence when performed without a concomitant anti-incontinence procedure. The low incidence of new-onset urinary incontinence after surgery supports a staged rather than concomitant approach for prolapse and anti-incontinence procedures. Counseling patients regarding the potential persistence or development of urinary symptoms is essential. Based on these findings, preoperative urodynamic testing might not be necessary for many elderly patients. Further comparative studies are required to confirm these findings and refine the patient selection criteria.
