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

introduction and hypothesisThis video demonstrates a robotic-assisted sacrocervicopexy using the semitendinosus tendon.

methodsBetween June 2022 and February 2023, we performed the worldwide first Da Vinci robotic-assisted sacrocervicopexies (SCP) for apical organ prolapse using the semitendinosus tendon of the left knee. Analysis of safety, feasibility, and clinical outcome of the first ten patients operated on using this new surgical technique included the German pelvic floor questionnaire (GPFQ) as well as a clinical examination.

resultsTen patients with a follow-up of 12 months were included. There was a significant reduction of the patient's symptoms according to the GPFQ regarding the domain bladder (preoperatively versus 3 months postoperatively, mean 3.85 vs 1.61, p = 0.034), total score (preoperatively versus 3 months postoperatively, mean 12.79 vs 3.28, p = 0.034), and descensus symptoms (preoperatively versus 12 months postoperatively, mean 4.74 vs 0.67, p = 0.022). POP-Q stage (point C) was significantly reduced between the preoperative period and at the time of discharge (mean 2.2 vs 0, p = 0.004). No serious intra- and postoperative complications occurred.

conclusionsThis pilot study showed satisfying clinical outcomes after a follow-up of 12 months, with a low mid-term complication rate.
