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
Objective The number of vaginal rejuvenation procedures for improvement of sexual function is dramatically increasing worldwide. The objective of this study was to present our experience with women who presented to our clinic with the complaint of sexual dysfunction or desire to enhance sexual function or orgasm. Methods Demographic and descriptive data of the patients were evaluated. In addition, sexual dysfunction of the patients who underwent vaginoplasty in our center were evaluated before and after vaginoplasty procedure using Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) scale and the scores were compared before and after the procedure, which is used in the evaluation of sexual dysfunction by relationship counsellors and clinics. Results A total of 250 women who described a sensation of a wide or floppy vagina with lost or decreased ability to achieve orgasm were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 38.51±9.126 years. Of all women, 85.2% were college graduates. A history of normal vaginal delivery was found in 77.8% of the participants. The mean GRISS scores of "Infrequency", "Non-communication", "Dissatisfaction", "Non-sensuality", "Avoidance", "Anorgasmia" and "overall GRISS" scores were statistically significantly decreased, while the mean vaginismus score was significantly increased (p<0.01). Conclusion Highly satisfying outcomes regarding patient satisfaction were obtained from vaginoplasty procedures that we have performed.
