Device-free, Cost-effective Sacrospinous Fixation Using Absorbable versus Nonabsorbable Sutures: A 5-Year Prospective, Cohort Study.
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
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of device-free concurrent sacrospinous fixation (SSF) performed at the time of vaginal hysterectomy using absorbable (polyglactin no. 1) versus nonabsorbable (polypropylene no. 1) sutures for preventing vaginal vault prolapse. Materials and Methods: A prospective, comparative, cohort study included 185 women undergoing vaginal hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stages II-IV from January 2016 to December 2018. Prophylactic SSF was performed in 90 patients using Polyglactin No. 1 sutures while in 95 patients using nonabsorbable sutures (Polypropylene No. 1). In both groups, Garg's technique was performed using Allis tissue forceps rather than a Capio device. Absorbable sutures ( Results: Anatomical success was achieved in 89/90 (98.9%) patients till 5 years with absorbable sutures, with a vault prolapse recurrence rate of 1.1% (1/90) versus 4.2% (4/95) with nonabsorbable sutures ( Conclusion: Concurrent sacrospinous fixation using Polyglactin no. 1 sutures with a simplified device-free technique demonstrated high long-term anatomical success rate and lower complication rates comparable to nonabsorbable sutures. This approach may be particularly useful in the resource-constrained settings.
