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

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause refers to the collection of signs and symptoms associated with decrease in estrogen and other sex steroids involving changes in labia majora/minora, clitoris, vestibule/introitus, vagina, urethra, and bladder. This term was coined in 2014 to reduce the stigma associated with genital symptoms after menopause. Our patient is a 65-year-old woman, menopausal for the past 15 years, who presented with dribbling of urine for 1 month. On examination, she was diagnosed with complete labial fusion. Diabetes was incidentally detected and antidiabetic treatment was started. Considering dense labial adhesion, the patient underwent surgical separation of labia under anesthesia. Postoperatively, she was put on topical estrogen therapy and was advised to maintain proper hygiene. She was followed up regularly for a month to prevent refusion.
