An Innovative Design for the Vaginal Speculum.
Article in Medical devices (Auckland, N.Z.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
Introduction: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed vaginal speculum, the Methods: A phantom vaginal model was used to test three variables of the Results: The results of this in-vitro study are as follows: The Conclusion: The gynecologic screening and procedural value of this innovative change in the design of the vaginal speculum could save hundreds of thousands of lives every year, provide a more comfortable exam for the patient, and result in a more efficient and user-friendly provider experience.
