Complications After Vaginal Vault Suspension: A Nationwide Cohort Study Comparing Six Apical Procedures.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 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
introduction and hypothesisTo compare complication profiles following six surgical procedures for vaginal vault prolapse in women with prior hysterectomy.
methodsNationwide cohort study with 3-14 years' follow-up. Patients were identified in a national database and validated by chart review. The population included 1374 women with prior hysterectomy undergoing primary vaginal vault suspension from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2020: sacrocolpopexy (SCP), laparoscopic uterosacral ligament suspension (LUSLS), ipsilateral uterosacral ligament suspension (IUSLS), vaginal extraperitoneal uterosacral ligament suspension (VEULS), sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF), and SSLF with graft. Complications recorded within the first 30 days were classified by Clavien-Dindo. Cox regression was adjusted for demographics. Primary outcome was intra- and postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included mesh exposure, length of hospital stay, readmission, and subsequent stress urinary incontinence surgery.
resultsComplication recording disclosed that SSLF had the lowest intraoperative (aOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.14-0.74) and severe Clavien-Dindo ≥ III rates (aOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.12-0.87). Mesh exposure occurred in 12.0% of SCP and 12.2% of SSLF with graft. Vaginal perforation during laparoscopic/robotic SCP increased the risk eightfold (OR 8.08; 95% CI 2.16-30.15). IUSLS disclosed a higher rate of catheter use and urinary tract infections. SSLF was associated with increased risk of hematoma and pain treatment. De novo incontinence and subsequent SUI surgery were most frequent after SCP. Readmission rates were low across procedures.
conclusionsComplication profiles differed between procedures. SSLF was associated with lower rates of severe complications, whereas mesh exposure was comparable across mesh-based repairs. Findings support individualized surgical decision-making.
