Transperineal Ultrasound Characteristics in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Ventral Mesh Rectopexy.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and hypothesisThe objective of this study was to characterize the morphologic changes in anterior compartment dynamics using transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) before and after laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) in patients with anorectal functional disorders, focusing on the bladder-symphysis distance (BSD) and retrovesical angle (RVA).
methodsPatients who underwent LVMR between April 2015 and December 2018 and completed both preoperative and 6-month postoperative TPUS evaluations were included. LVMR involved anterior rectal wall suspension with additional mesh fixation to the posterior vaginal wall. BSD and RVA were measured at rest, during the Valsalva maneuver, and as variances (differences).
resultsAmong 63 patients (median age 78 years; BMI 22.1 kg/m
conclusionsLVMR with posterior vaginal wall suspension was associated with reduced BSD variance on TPUS, suggesting that this posterior support may contribute to bladder neck stabilization.
