1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Vaginal rejuvenation procedures are increasing in popularity in terms of types of treatment offered, number of patients undergoing them, clinical studies, and in the controversy surrounding them. Both non-invasive and invasive solutions are being developed by pharmaceutical and technological companies. Radiofrequency devices and lasers are spearheading the energy-based device space, and fillers and platelet-rich plasma are used to address several concerns surrounding vaginal health. In this review, an overview of the growing field of vaginal rejuvenation is presented, as well as the authors' personal view and analysis of this clinical space.
