The Prolapse Quality-of-life Questionnaire as a Substitute for Assessing Voiding and Storage Conditions in Patients Undergoing Transvaginal Mesh Surgery.
Article in Journal of mid-life health. 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
Objectives: The Prolapse Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (P-QOL) is a validated tool for assessing symptom severity and treatment outcomes in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This study investigates whether the total score of selected P-QOL component questions can serve as a substitute for the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) plus quality-of-life (QOL) score in patients with POP undergoing transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery. Materials and Methods: The study enrolled 137 patients who underwent TVM at our institution between May 2016 and November 2023. Correlations between the total score of selected P-QOL component questions and the IPSS or QOL score were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare P-QOL scores between IPSS ≥8 and ≤7 groups and QOL ≥4 and ≤3 groups at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Results: Significant correlations were observed between the total score of selected P-QOL component questions and the IPSS or QOL score, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Box plot analyses showed significant differences in P-QOL scores between the IPSS ≥8 and ≤7 groups and the QOL ≥4 and ≤3 groups at all time points. In addition, post-void residual urine volume, P-QOL scores, and IPSS plus QOL scores significantly decreased at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively compared with baseline. Conclusion: The P-QOL provides reliable information on voiding and storage conditions preoperatively and postoperatively, making it a viable alternative to the IPSS plus QOL score for evaluating urinary symptoms in patients with POP undergoing TVM.
