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

Vulvodynia is a vulvar discomfort that occurs in the absence of any specific, clinically identifiable disorder. Few therapies have shown to be effective for the treatment of vulvodynia. In our recently published study, we tested a drug-free gel in women affected by vulvar vestibulitis. It is a cosmetic gel which acts locally without any metabolic, pharmacological or immunological effect. In order to further promote the validity of this new product, in this manuscript we analyzed the results obtained from the administration of four questionnaires in the same two groups of women affected by PVD and treated with a placebo and the new product. The questionnaires used: Female Sexual Function Index Scoring (FSFI), Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and health-related quality of life measured by SF-36 (SF-36). The results obtained by this current analysis showed that the new gel has also proven benefits on women's quality of life and sexual function, including improvements in arousal, desire, orgasm and satisfaction.
