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

introductionRokitansky syndrome or Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser (SRKMH) is a rare congenital malformation defined by uterovaginal aplasia. The aim of the treatment is to create a neovagina and restore sexual life. However, postoperative results in terms of sexual and overall quality of life of patients remain controversial.

aimTo evaluate the quality of life and sexuality of patients operated on for Rokitansky syndrome.

methodsThis was a retrospective and comparative study between two groups of patients. The first group consisted of patients who had undergone vaginoplasty as part of SRKMH. The second group was that of the controls. Control in terms of sexual function by the Ar FSFI (Arab FemaleSexualFunction Index) and quality of life by the SF36 (Short Forms Health Survey) were used in both groups.

resultsThe average age of patients operated on for SRKMH was 22.53 years. Eighteen of these patients (60%) were sexually active at the time of the study. Patients operated on for SRKMH had a significantly lower Ar FSFI score compared to the control group. The two areas most affected were lubrication and pain. Likewise, patients who underwent vaginoplasty had a significantly lower SF 36 score compared to the control group. The psychological component was the most affected of the different components of quality of life.

conclusionSexual function and quality of life after vaginoplasty in the context of Rokitansky syndrome remains unsatisfactory despite the anatomical result.
