Transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation: Efficacy in treating pelvic prolapse and influence on patients' anxiety and depression.

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
backgroundPelvic organ prolapse (POP) can lead to urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and other symptoms, affecting the quality of life, which results in anxiety and depression and other negative emotions in many patients. Trans-vaginal sacrospinous ligament suspension (VSSLS) involves securing the apex of the prolapsed vagina to the sacrospinous ligament to maintain the physiological axis of the vagina, help in repairing pelvic floor defects, and maintain the normal function of the pelvic floor, thereby alleviating patients' anxiety and depression.
aimTo explore the effect of VSSLS in the treatment of POP and its influence on anxiety and depression among patients.
methodsSixty patients with moderate to severe POP who underwent surgical treatment between January 2023 and June 2024 in Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University were retrospectively enrolled in the study. According to treatment methods, they were divided into the control group (
resultsNo significant differences in baseline data, preoperative POP Quantification measurement value, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Inventory 20 (PFDI-20), Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire 7 (PFIQ-7), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores were found between the two groups. The observation group had longer operation time and more intraoperative blood loss than the control group, the Visual Analog Scale score on postoperative day 1 was slightly higher in than in the control group. On the reexamination 3 months postoperatively, the POP Quantification measurement values in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (
conclusionVSSLS demonstrated a significant effect on the treatment of moderate and severe POP, as it can reduce the prolapse distance and PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 scores and improve anxiety and depression among patients.
