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: This study aimed to compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of the modified McIndoe vaginoplasty for Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome using swine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) graft or homologous skin grafts. Methods: A total of 115 patients with MRKHs who underwent neovaginoplasty between January 2012 and December 2021 were included in the study. Among them, 84 patients received vaginal reconstruction with SIS graft, whereas 31 neovaginoplasty underwent a skin graft procedure. The length and width of the neovagina were measured, and sexual satisfaction was evaluated using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The operation details, cost, and complications were also assessed. Results: The SIS graft group had a significantly shorter mean operation time (61.13±7.17min) and less bleeding during the operation (38.57±9.46mL) compared to the skin graft group (92.1±9.47min and 55.81±8.28mL, respectively). The mean length and width of the neovagina in the SIS group were comparable to the skin graft group at 6 months follow-up (7.73±0.57 cm versus 7.6±0.62cm, P=0.32). The SIS group had a higher total FSFI index than the skin graft group (27.44±1.58 versus 25.33±2.16, P=0.001). Conclusion: The modified McIndoe neovaginoplasty using SIS graft is a safe and effective alternative to homologous skin grafts. It results in comparable anatomical outcomes and superior sexual and functional outcomes. Overall, these results suggest that the modified McIndoe neovaginoplasty using SIS graft is preferred for MRKH patients who require vaginal reconstruction.
