The strategy for vaginal rejuvenation: CO

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
backgroundVaginal laxity may result from trauma to the pelvic floor muscle, which may affect patients' sensation and quality of life. Vaginal rejuvenation, including surgical or nonsurgical interventions, aims to improve laxity. In this study, we aimed to establish a strategy for vaginal rejuvenation by comparing surgical and nonsurgical methods.
methodsA retrospective clinical study was performed on patients who complained about vaginal laxity from 2017 to 2019. The degree of vaginal laxity severity was evaluated by vaginal examination in each patient. The patients were categorized as having a light, moderate or severe degree of vaginal laxity, and different correction methods were chosen accordingly. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was administered to the patients preoperatively and at three months and one year after treatment.
resultsSeventeen patients with severe-degree vaginal laxity were treated with vaginoplasty. The total FSFI score was 23.21±2.57 before the operation and significantly increased to 29.36±1.84 (P<0.01) at one year after surgery. Eleven patients with moderate-degree vaginal laxity were treated with vaginoplasty and had a significant improvement in the total FSFI score at one year after surgery (29.86±1.74, P<0.01) compared with the FSFI score before surgery (23.41±2.84). Three patients with moderate-degree vaginal laxity were treated with a CO
conclusionsThe strategy for vaginal rejuvenation should be selected based on the degree of vaginal laxity severity. Surgical treatment is suitable for severe- and moderate-degree vaginal laxity while nonsurgical treatment is suitable for light-degree vaginal laxity.
