Review in Clinical and experimental dermatology, 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
Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining a normal vulvovaginal epithelium, vaginal lubrication, as well as a healthy microbiome to ensure an acidic pH. The decrease in oestrogen levels in women going through menopause results in both physiological and physical changes of the genitourinary system, and more specifically the vulva. We conducted a literature review on the effects of low oestrogen levels on the physiology and function of the vulva and the vulvovaginal epithelium. 'Genitourinary syndrome of menopause' (GSM) is the term used to describe the signs and symptoms of a low oestrogen state. The symptoms and signs of GSM can overlap or coexist with other vulval dermatoses. Expert opinion is needed to diagnose and manage vulval dermatoses in menopause. This article will discuss the signs and symptoms of GSM, as well as the different management options available. Other vulval dermatoses that can be affected by hypo-oestrogenism are also reviewed.
