Transvaginal Hybrid NOTES Cholecystectomy: A Single-Centre Long-Term Experience on Sexual Function.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionTransvaginal hybrid NOTES cholecystectomy is an alternative approach to the traditional laparoscopic technique. Despite increasing data regarding clinical outcomes following transvaginal hybrid NOTES cholecystectomy, there is still a lack of long-term results, particularly with regard to sexual function. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcome of a series of transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy. PATIENTS AND
methodsFemale patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis who underwent transvaginal hybrid NOTES cholecystectomy were retrospectively analysed regarding clinical and surgical outcome parameters. Furthermore, all patients received a 17-question survey postoperative with questions about sexual intercourse, the domains satisfaction and pain of the German Female Sexual Function Index.
resultsOverall, 47 of 80 patients were included in the study with a completed survey responses (return rate 58.6%), with a mean age of 48 years, mean body mass index of 29 and mean operative time of 47 min. The median follow-up was 40 months. There were no intra- or postoperative complications and no conversion to a laparoscopic or open approach. No significant differences were found for postoperative sexual function (painful intercourse, inability to achieve orgasm), although sexual intercourse was less frequent postoperatively (p = 0.022). Forty-four patients (93.7%) were satisfied with the aesthetic and the overall postoperative result, and 40 patients (85.1%) would recommend the applied surgical technique to friends and family.
conclusionThe findings show that transvaginal hybrid NOTES cholecystectomy is a safe procedure for female patients, particularly with regard to sexual function.
