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

Transfeminine people (assigned male at birth) often undergo penile inversion vaginoplasty to create vulva, a clitoris and a vaginal canal (referred to as a neovagina). After vaginoplasty, transfeminine people frequently experience gynecological concerns but their etiology is unknown due to a lack of knowledge of the neovaginal microenvironment. We characterized neovaginal microbiota and cytokines in 47 transfeminine participants. Participants self-reported sexual behaviors and symptoms, enabling correlation with bacterial (16S rRNA) and immune profiles. Four distinct clusters of co-occurring bacteria with unique immune profiles were identified. One cluster, which included
