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

Alloplastic implants used in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery can achieve good anatomical outcomes; however, concerns about complications such as vaginal wall erosion (VWE) have led to restrictions on their use. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify risk factors for VWE. A comprehensive search of three major databases (PubMed, Embase, and Central) was conducted on June 19, 2023. Eligible studies examined risk factors for VWE and reported the event rate with and without these risk factors. Odds ratios (OR) of VWE were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each risk factor following POP surgeries using vaginal implants. A total of 36 articles were included in the analysis. The results identified a history of smoking and concomitant hysterectomy as risk factors for VWE following POP surgeries. This information is crucial when selecting the type of surgical approach. However, further well-designed comparative studies are necessary to provide more accurate and comprehensive recommendations.
