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

Labial minora fusion persisting to the reproductive age is a rare type of labial fusion. Only 17 sporadic case-reports have been published to describe this disease. We report a retrospective cohort study of nine patients undergone surgical dissections in our hospital with labial minora fusion of reproductive age. General information, a medical history, gynecological examinations, preoperative ultrasonography and observations during surgery were reviewed. Four patients found vulva deformity at age 1.25 ± 1.09 years, and the remaining 5 patients discovered the disease when they reached child-bearing age (25.20 ± 4.31). The average age of operation was 22.89 ± 6.21 years. The characteristic symptoms of the disease were menstrual blood and urine excretion from the urethral orifice. No endometriosis was detected in all 9 patients. One patient was found to have congenital defects, with a double cervical and complete uterine septum. All patients recovered well without re-adhesion. Seven patients (7/9, 77.80%) were interviewed by telephone. Three patients had normal sexual life and all patients were able to control urination normally. This labial fusion was found in 44.44% patients shortly after birth and might combined with other defects, suggesting a congenital nature of the disease, and further indicates the developmental feature of the vulva.
