[Vaginal laser therapy for urinary incontinence and genitourinary syndrome of menopause : A review].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUse of vaginal laser therapy in the treatment of grade I stress urinary incontinence and genitourinary syndrome of menopause is gaining in importance across the globe. MATERIALS AND
methodsOn the basis of the research that is currently available, an analysis is carried out regarding whether laser therapy is already suitable for use in the field of urology.
resultsThe research available is still limited: randomized controlled studies in particular are lacking. All the data published to date demonstrate a response to laser therapy with minimal side effects, high patient compliance and satisfaction, and a long-term response for a minimum of 12 months.
conclusionsVaginal laser therapy has shown potential and demonstrated its safety for use in urology as either a complementary or alternative treatment to existing treatment options, such as topical hormonal therapies, pelvic floor exercises or surgical procedures. It is necessary to define it as separate from aesthetic procedures.
