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

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) frequently coexists with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Advanced prolapse may mask SUI, which can also develop Materials and methods: From January 2024 to January 2025, sixteen women aged 55-65 years with anterior compartment POP and symptomatic SUI underwent robot-assisted AAVMS and were followed for 12 months. The primary endpoint was patient-reported resolution of SUI at 12 months. Secondary endpoints included perioperative outcomes, adverse events, POP-Q changes, and patient-reported quality of life (P-QOL) and sexual function (PISQ-12). Results: Operative time ranged from 50 to 90 min. Urinary catheter removal occurred on postoperative day 3, and discharge on days 8-10. At 6 months, 8/16 patients reported complete continence; this increased to 12/16 at 8 months and 15/16 at 12 months. One patient had persistent SUI. No intraoperative or postoperative complications or mesh-related adverse events were observed. Conclusions: Robot-assisted AAVMS was feasible and associated with progressive improvement in patient-reported continence over 12 months, with a favorable safety profile. Larger comparative studies with standardized objective endpoints are warranted.
