Reconstructive surgery after Female Genital Mutilation: a multidisciplinary approach.
Review in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2022. 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimFemale Genital Mutilations (FMGs) are all interventions involving partial or total removal of external female genital apparatus, perpetrated not for therapeutic purposes. This review aims to describe a multidisciplinary approach to clinical management of women with FGM, requiring reconstructive surgery and therapeutic deinfibulation. Furthermore, these traditional procedures are harmful to women's physical integrity, being able to result in severe psychological damage with strong inhibitions in sexual and emotive life.
methodsClinical management followed internal protocol implemented at the obstetric Pathology of IRCCS Burlo Garofolo of Trieste, in the framework of the regional project "Female genital mutilation and women immigrants: a draft integrated training and support person," supported by Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. We have enrolled in our protocol 15 women that came in our Hospital spontaneously. Here, we present a case of a 38-year-old woman, who had undergone ritual FGM type III with a deep groove scar. She had suffered pain and limitations to sexual intercourses.
resultsWe performed a reconstructive surgery of the mutilated genital tissue and a therapeutic deinfibulation. The deep groove scar was successfully removed with a multidisciplinary approach. We achieved careful evaluation, both clinical and psychological, of the patient, before surgery.
conclusionsReconstructive surgery for women who suffer sexual consequences from FGM is feasible. It restores women's natural genital anatomy, allowing to improve female sexuality.
