Analysis of Clinical Characteristics of Partial Versus Total Colpocleisis for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in China.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. 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
introduction and hypothesisColpocleisis is an important procedure in elderly women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who have no desire for intercourse. The objective was to compare the clinical features of women who undergo partial colpocleisis with those of women who undergo total colpocleisis for POP in China.
methodsThis is a multicenter retrospective cohort study investigating patients who underwent colpocleisis for moderate to severe POP across ten tertiary hospitals in China between 2015 and 2024. Epidemiological characteristics, perioperative indices, complications, and follow-up data were compared.
resultsA total of 1,080 women were eligible for enrolment in the study. Among them, 696 patients underwent partial colpocleisis and 394 patients underwent total colpocleisis. The mean postoperative follow-up duration was 4.0 ± 2.6 years, with a median follow-up of 3 years. The subjective success rate was 98% and the anatomical cure rate was 99% in both groups. There was no statistically significant between-group difference in the postoperative satisfaction or regret rates. The anatomical recurrence rate at the final follow-up was lower in the total colpocleisis group. The total colpocleisis group had significantly greater intraoperative blood loss, a higher wound infection rate, a higher incidence of hematoma, and a longer hospital stay.
conclusionsBoth procedures can achieve high subjective and objective cure rates. Total colpocleisis is associated with greater intraoperative blood loss and more cases of hematoma and wound infection but less likelihood of anatomical recurrence. Both procedures are suitable for elderly women with severe prolapse who have no wish for intercourse.
