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

Vaginal laxity (VL) is a common symptom of pelvic floor disorder, an underreported condition, and has a substantial impact on women's sex lives and relationships. The study aimed to determine the effect of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) on women with VL. Fifty women with vaginal laxity were chosen from an outpatient clinic in Egypt. They were randomly split into two equal categories (A and B). Group A (n = 25) received pelvic floor exercises (PFE), while Group B (n = 25) received TTNS and PFE. Every week, both groups performed three sessions for three months. The outcomes were evaluated both before and following treatment using ultrasound imaging to assess pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function and the Female Sexual Function Index to measure sexual function. Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ) were used to examine vaginal looseness. The analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in vaginal laxity in both groups. Post-treatment comparisons revealed a statistically significant difference in VLQ scores and PFM strength between Groups B and A. These findings indicate that TTNS is notably more effective in improving PFM activity and VLQ scores in women with vaginal laxity.
