Creation of neovagina in women with Müllerian agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) using fresh human amnion.
Article in Obstetrics & gynecology science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveSeveral graft options can be used to construct a neovagina. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of creating a neovagina using a fresh human amnion in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.
methodsTen patients were analyzed retrospectively. Anatomical success was defined by a postoperative vaginal length ≥5 cm, and a width sufficient to comfortably accommodate the insertion of two fingers. Functional success was achieved when a score of >26.5 was attained on the Arabic validated version of the functional sexual function index (FSFI).
resultsOverall, the mean vaginal length before surgery was 2.15±0.85 cm (range, 1.5-4.5). The mean vaginal length after surgery was 5.5±0.53 cm (range, 5-6), and all patients (n=10) achieved anatomical success. The FSFI score after surgery was 29.2±2.4, and eight patients achieved functional success. The mean operative time and estimated blood loss were 83.5±50.31 minutes (range, 42-210) and 122.0±75.69 mL (range, 20-250), respectively. None of the patients required intraoperative blood transfusion or experienced injury to vital organs. Four patients developed postoperative leukocytosis within 48 hours, and one patient experienced chronic pelvic pain that lasted more than 6 months postoperatively. No major postoperative complications, such as pelvic abscesses, open wounds, chronic vaginal discharge, or reoperation, were reported.
conclusionIn conclusion, surgical dissection of the vesicorectal space and utilization of fresh human amnion to create a neovagina over a vaginal mold are technically feasible and safe, and are linked to favorable anatomical and functional outcomes in MRKH patients with vaginal agenesis.
