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

backgroundDe novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may reduce patient satisfaction following a pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery and may necessitate additional anti-incontinence surgery in the future. The aim of this study is to evaluate physical examination tests that can predict de novo SUI after POP surgery.

methodsA total of 30 patients diagnosed with stage 3-4 POP who underwent POP surgery were included in this study. The results of the Q-tip test, reduced stress test, and urodynamic stress urinary incontinence test, which were performed before the surgery, and stress test results for SUI at 3 and 6 months after the surgery were recorded. The physical examination tests were compared and occult SUI and de novo SUI rates were determined.

resultsOccult SUI detection rates were found to be 46.7% for the Q-tip test, 20% for the reduced stress test, and 3.3% for the urodynamic test. The rates of de novo SUI were determined as 3.3% and 10%, respectively, at the 3rd and 6th months postoperatively. The presence of gravida, parity, and the number of living children increased the detection rate of occult SUI by the Q-tip test at statistically significant level. It was also determined that the high number of abortions statistically increased the risk of de novo SUI at 6 months postoperatively and occult SUI did not significantly affect the risk of de novo SUI.

conclusionOur findings suggest that less invasive and cost-effective physical examination tests may be considered in the preoperative evaluation of patients undergoing POP surgery; however, these results should be interpreted cautiously.
