Goal Achievement in Women With Urinary Incontinence After Midurethral Sling.
Article in Urogynecology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 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
importanceTreatment goals are understudied among women undergoing midurethral sling (MUS) surgery for mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to describe treatment goals in participants with MUI undergoing MUS with or without perioperative behavioral and physical therapy (BPT). Secondary objectives included describing goal achievement and identifying predictors of achievement. STUDY
designParticipants in a multicenter, randomized trial of MUS surgery with or without BPT completed patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures and the Self-Assessment Goal Achievement questionnaire (rating the importance of 9 preset goals on a 6-point scale, self-identifying 5 additional goals). At baseline, 6 months and 12 months, goal achievement was rated on a 5-point scale with 5 indicating "greatly exceeded goal" and scores ≥4 considered "achieved." Self-identified goal themes were identified, and factors associated with goal achievement were examined.
resultsMean age of the 366 participants was 54.6 (10.4) years, 348 (95.0%) rated stress urinary incontinence-related goals 5/5 in importance, and 319 (87.2%) rated ≥1 of the urgency-related goals 5/5 in importance. Goal themes included coping, hygiene, effect on activities, sexual function, social function, and self-esteem. Achievement of at least 1 goal occurred in 346 of 366 (94.5%) with no differences between groups for most goals by 12 months. Compared with the MUS alone group, the MUS with or without BPT group had higher odds of achieving ≥1 urgency-related preset goal at 6 months (adjusted odds ratio, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.59-5.30, P<0.001). Goal achievement was associated with greater improvements in PROs.
conclusionsAmong women with MUI undergoing MUS surgery with or without BPT, the majority reported high importance of both stress and urgency-related goals. Most stress- and urgency-related goals were achieved by 12 months.
