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

summaryThe authors present a technique for neovaginal reconstruction in gender-affirming vaginoplasty using an anteriorly based peritoneal turnover flap to create a full-length lining throughout the depth of the neovaginal canal. Between 2024 and 2025, 10 patients successfully underwent the procedure without major complications. At the 3-month follow-up, 80% of patients maintained neovaginal depth comparable to the immediate postoperative measurement. Internal neovaginal examination demonstrated that the neovaginal lining exhibited a mucosal surface, high elasticity, and self-lubrication. The potential impact of peritoneal flap harvesting on the urinary bladder was evaluated using the Incontinence Questionnaire-Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. This technique may represent a feasible approach for achieving hairless neovaginal reconstruction in gender-affirming surgery, particularly for patients with scrotal skin deficiency or extensive genital hair.
