Long-Term Risk of Prolapse Retreatment After Hysterectomy for Prolapse.
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 hypothesisData on prolapse retreatment related to surgical approach and concurrent use of colporrhaphy or colpopexy at time of hysterectomy for prolapse repair are needed. This study sought to quantify prolapse retreatment as it relates to surgical approach for hysterectomy and use of concurrent procedures.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of deidentified private payor insurance claims data for services for hysterectomies for prolapse from October 2015-2024. The primary outcome was prolapse retreatment defined as either a subsequent prolapse procedure or pessary fitting following the index hysterectomy. Data were analyzed using crude incidence rates as well as multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. The adjusted model included patient attributes-e.g., age, comorbidities, concurrent gynecologic diagnoses- geographic factors, and concurrent prolapse procedure(s).
resultsWe identified 7017 patients who underwent hysterectomy with a prolapse diagnosis with a mean age of 51.3. A concurrent prolapse procedure was performed in 82% of the hysterectomies. Within the study period, there were 24,129 person-years at risk and 399 patients (5.7%) were retreated. The overall incidence rate of retreatment was 16.5 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 14.9, 18.2). With adjustment for patient and surgical characteristics, including concurrent colporrhaphy and colpopexy, there was no difference in retreatment with a laparoscopic approach compared to vaginal (aHR 1.39, 95% CI 0.95, 2.04). With concurrent colpopexy and colporrhaphy, an abdominal approach was associated with increased retreatment compared to both laparoscopic (aHR 4.8, 95% CI 2.79, 8.25) and vaginal (aHR 6.7, 95% CI 3.8, 11.8) approaches.
conclusionsIn this cohort of commercially insured women undergoing hysterectomy with a prolapse diagnosis, there was no association between prolapse retreatment and a vaginal versus laparoscopic approach.
