Effects of different vaginal mould use approaches after vaginoplasty with artificial dermis in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo assess the therapeutic effects of different vaginal mould use approaches after vaginoplasty in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.
methodsPatients with MRKH syndrome who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively evaluated. Vaginoplasty was performed with artificial dermis, and vaginal moulds were used for 6 months postoperatively. The patients were divided into an intermittent group and continuous group according to the vaginal mould approach.
resultsThirty-five patients were evaluated (intermittent group, 19 patients; continuous group, 16 patients). One month postoperatively, the mean vaginal length and width in the intermittent group were 9.26 ± 0.56 and 3.82 ± 0.25 cm, respectively, and those in the continuous group were 9.44 ± 0.51 and 3.86 ± 0.22 cm, respectively. Six months postoperatively, the mean vaginal length and width in the intermittent group were 8.94 ± 0.71 and 3.76 ± 0.26 cm, respectively, and those in the continuous group were 8.69 ± 0.48 and 3.65 ± 0.30 cm, respectively. The mean Female Sexual Function Index scores in the intermittent and continuous groups were 28.61 ± 0.71 and 28.4 80 ±0.79 respectively, after normal sexual life.
conclusionBoth intermittent and continuous use of postoperative vaginal moulds may be effective.
