Abdominal sacrocolpopexy: could we simplify the technique?
Article in Revista brasileira de ginecologia e obstetricia : revista da Federacao Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetricia, 2025. 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 compare the efficacy of a traditional open ASC technique (ASC-T) to an open modified technique (ASC-M). Methods: Retrospective cohort study with stage 3 or 4 apical prolapse women, who operated on using one of the two techniques were included in the study: ASC-T (vaginal mesh is secured with eight sutures) and ASC-M (four sutures). The POP-Q was used to objectively assess anatomical improvement. Women with less than one year of follow-up, without POP-Q classification, or with incomplete data were excluded. Results: A total of 223 women underwent ASC: 120 in ASC-T and 103 in ASC-M. The average age was 65.3 (±6.5) years in the ASC-T group and 65 (±8.5) years in the ASC-M group, with no difference between them (p=0.706). There was no difference in intraoperative increased bleeding (p=1.000) and bladder injury (p=0.706) in both groups. Comparing the POP-Q points pre- and postoperatively, we observed improvement in all points in both groups (p<0.001) without difference between them. The analysis of variance for repeated measures was used to compare the outcomes between the two groups. The postoperative prolapse stage was similar between the two groups in the apical (p=0.251) and anterior (p=0.052) vaginal compartments. In the subjective evaluation, we observed a high rate of cure and improvement in both groups, respectively 81.7% and 16.7% in the ASC-T group, and 91.3% and 8.7% in the ASC-M group (p=0.100). Conclusion: Both sacrocolpopexy techniques were effective in treating apical prolapse, as evidenced by both objective and subjective cure rates, with a low complication rate.
