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

introductionLimited data exists in literature regarding concomitant ventral rectopexy (VRP) and sacrocolpo/hysteropexy (SCP/SHP), with existing studies being predominantly retrospective. The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the anatomical and functional outcomes of combined VRP and SCP/SHP for the treatment of multicompartmental pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

methodsWe performed systematic research and meta-analysis from PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE, according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, until 15 January 2025. Women submitted to VRP with SCP/SHP were included. Improvement of anorectal symptoms were evaluated. Postoperative anatomical relapse was reported. Re-operation rates were evaluated.

resultsSix articles were included. Constipation/obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) [odds ratio (OR) 0.26, 95% CI 0.10-0.68; p = 0.006 (I

conclusionsVRP combined with SCP/SHP has been shown to be safe and effective for women with multicompartment POP, providing optimal anatomical and functional outcomes. Larger, long-term, prospective-controlled studies are needed to confirm these results.
