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: This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes, as well as the intraoperative and postoperative complications, of colpocleisis and sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) in the management of vaginal vault prolapse (VVP) among post-hysterectomy patients. Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted on 49 patients who underwent surgery for VVP at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital between January 2020 and December 2024. Of the 49 patients, 26 (53.1%) underwent colpocleisis surgery and 23 (46.9%) underwent SSLF surgery. Data collected included patient demographics, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels, operation time, hospital stay, and postoperative complications. The study also assessed treatment success and recurrence rates. Results: The mean age of the patients was significantly higher in the colpocleisis group than the SSLF group (71.5 years Conclusion: SSLF and colpocleisis have demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. These surgical approaches are particularly appropriate for elderly patients with significant comorbidities, as they are associated with low complication rates, shorter operative times, and reduced recurrence rates.
