Uterine-Sparing vNOTES vs. laparoscopic lateral suspension for pelvic organ prolapse repair: a prospective comparative study of feasibility and early outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) represents a minimally invasive uterus-preserving technique for apical prolapse repair. Comparative data with laparoscopic lateral suspension are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate perioperative performance, anatomical correction, and functional outcomes of both approaches. Methods: In this prospective cohort, 100 women with symptomatic anterior-apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q ≥ II) underwent either vNOTES lateral suspension ( Results: Both techniques provided successful anterior-apical correction. Operative time (60.4 ± 11.2 vs. 90.7 ± 8.4 min; Conclusion: Both vNOTES and laparoscopic lateral suspension achieved effective uterus-preserving prolapse repair with favorable short-term anatomical and functional results. vNOTES provided faster perioperative recovery and greater functional symptom improvement without compromising safety. Extended follow-up will clarify durability.
