Sexual function after Anchorsure repair of sacrospinous ligament suspension in patients with pelvic organ prolapse: a prospective multicenter study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 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
Sacrospinous ligament suspension (SSLS) is widely used to restore apical support, yet the impact of SSLS using the Anchorsure system on postoperative sexual function remains insufficiently characterized. This prospective multicenter observational cohort study enrolled 115 women with symptomatic apical pelvic organ prolapse undergoing SSLS with the Anchorsure system at two teaching hospitals in Northwest Iran between 2022 and 2024. Sexual function was assessed preoperatively and at 3‑month follow‑up using the Persian‑validated Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). 115 women were enrolled and completed baseline FSFI, and 104 (90.4%) completed the 3‑month assessment. Mean FSFI total score increased from 19.15 ± 1.94 preoperatively to 21.84 ± 3.98 postoperatively (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.88), with statistically significant improvements in desire, arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain domains. Lubrication improved only minimally (mean Δ = 0.03 ± 0.71, p = 0.024, d = 0.04). Age and body mass index were not significantly associated with postoperative FSFI scores (p > 0.05). Sacrospinous ligament suspension with the Anchorsure system was associated with significant short‑term improvements in sexual function in women with apical pelvic organ prolapse, particularly in arousal, satisfaction, and pain reduction. These findings support SSLS with Anchorsure as a native‑tissue surgical option for patients who prioritize sexual health outcomes or are not candidates for more extensive abdominal procedures.
