1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To compare mid-term efficacy, safety, and functional outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) versus laparoscopic lateral abdominal wall suspension (LAWS), both combined with standardized posterior repair, for advanced multi-compartment pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Patients and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 132 patients with POP-Q stage ≥III apical defects and concomitant anterior/posterior prolapse (2019-2021). Seventy underwent LSC + posterior repair (control), 62 underwent LAWS + posterior repair (observation). Perioperative outcomes, anatomical restoration (POP-Q), patient-reported outcomes (PFDI-20, PFIQ-7, PISQ-12), and 3-year complications were compared. Results: LAWS showed shorter operative time (136.08±17.48 vs 174.81±27.36 min, Conclusion: Both LSC and LAWS with posterior repair are effective for advanced POP. LAWS offers advantages in operative safety, recovery, and lower risk of defecatory dysfunction, positioning it as a viable alternative. Treatment choice should be individualized based on patient anatomy and surgeon expertise.
