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 length and caliber are necessary for satisfactory vaginal coitus. Surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can include preservation of vaginal length and caliber, or shortening and narrowing of the vagina (constrictive and obliterative surgery). The latter option is proven to have fewer complications and a lower risk of recurrence of POP. Women undergoing surgical intervention for POP who are not coitally active and choose not to be coitally active for the rest of their lives should be offered constrictive and obliterative surgery.
