Patient-reported outcomes after hysterectomy due to pelvic organ prolapse versus other indications - a 10-year national follow-up study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2026. 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
backgroundWe compared short- and long-term patient-reported satisfaction and outcomes after hysterectomy between women with and without pelvic floor dysfunction at the time of hysterectomy.
methodsThe nationwide prospective FINHYST cohort was divided into two groups according to the indication for hysterectomy: those with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with or without urinary incontinence (POPUI) (n = 1323) and those with other benign indications (non-POPUI, n = 2641). Outcomes were assessed via questionnaires at two months for all women and at ten years for the Helsinki University Hospital (HUH) subgroup (n = 838). The primary outcome was patient satisfaction measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-100); secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcomes and adverse events.
resultsSatisfaction was high at two months (mean VAS 88.1 POPUI vs. 89.8 non-POPUI, n.s) and remained high at ten years (89.2 POPUI vs. 92.5 no POPUI, p < 0.01). Women without POPUI reported greater satisfaction at ten years. At two months, fewer women in POPUI group had VAS scores under 70 compared to those in non-POPUI group (9.0% vs. 11.5%, p < 0.02). In both groups, the strongest predictors of dissatisfaction were reoperation, wound infection, and inadequate pain relief. At ten years, women with POPUI reported more frequently low VAS scores, (VAS < 70: 11.7% vs. 7.0%), persisted pelvic floor symptoms (86.7% vs. 64.0%, p < 0.01), and reoperations for POP (20.7% vs. 2.3%, p < 0.01).
conclusionsShort- and long term satisfaction following hysterectomy is high. Hysterectomy due to POP was associated with recurrent patient-reported pelvic floor symptoms, reoperations and higher risk of complications, reducing long-term satisfaction.
