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
Objectives: Managing young women with significant uterine prolapse poses a clinical challenge. The present study was conducted to evaluate the safety, patient satisfaction, and medium-term effectiveness of minimally invasive transvaginal sacrospinous ligament (SSL) hysteropexy in a cohort of young women with stage III-IV uterine prolapse. Materials and Methods: A cohort study of 40 consecutive young women who underwent SSL hysteropexy was investigated. Young age was defined as 45 years old or younger. All patients underwent transvaginal EnPlace Results: The mean age of the patients was 40.6 ± 5.5 years (range: 32-45 years). The mean duration of surgery was 27.4 ± 7.4 min. No significant intraoperative or early postoperative complications were observed. The POP-Q measurements, specifically point C, point Ba, and point Bp, showed significant improvement 6 months postoperatively (-4.9 ± 1.6, -2.5 ± 1, and -2.6 ± 0.7, respectively). The mean follow-up duration was 33.7 ± 10.6 months (range: 18-66 months). Among the 40 patients surveyed, 13 (32.5%) reported experiencing symptoms of POP, five (12.5%) of whom required subsequent surgical intervention for recurrent apical POP. Nevertheless, medium-term patient satisfaction scores remained high, with a mean score of 92.9 ± 10.3. Conclusion: The results of the present study align with existing literature, demonstrating that SSL hysteropexy is safe and effective. However, although the procedure is associated with high levels of patient satisfaction, it has less favorable medium-term anatomical outcomes among young women.
