Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery Revolution: The Next Frontier in Gynecologic Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Review in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07413861 (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Despite guidelines that assert that the vaginal route for benign hysterectomy is preferred as the most minimally invasive approach, rates of vaginal hysterectomy remain very low in the United States. Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) might reverse the trend. Potential advantages of vNOTES compared to traditional laparoscopic and robotic approaches include the potential for less pain, decreased operative time, improved cosmesis, and decreased risks. Importantly, vNOTES might allow for the conversion of laparoscopic and robotic routes back to vaginal due to surgeon factors.
