Article in Lasers in medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05585476 (Effectiveness of C02 Microfractionated Laser in Conjunction With Topical Regenerative Therapy in the Management of Vulvo-vaginal Atrophy in Patients With a History of Breast Cancer. Randomized Experimental and Comparative Study.), which is not on this map. Cited by 37 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

The composition of vaginal microbiome in menopause and cancer survivor women changes dramatically leading to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in up to 70% of patients. Recent reports suggest that laser therapy may be valuable as a not hormonal therapeutic modality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of fractional CO
