Influencing Factors and Satisfaction with Body and Genital Image in Women Undergoing Genital Cosmetic Surgery: A Randomized, Cross-Sectional Study.
Trial report in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe trend of female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) is growing. Aesthetic concerns are cited as the primary reason for female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS).
objectivesCurrent research sought to assess body and genital image along with associated factors among various groups of FGCS and women who do not wish to undergo FGCS.
methodsBased on women's circumstances regarding FGCS, five groups were defined: those seeking labiaplasty (LP), those who had already undergone LP, those seeking multiple procedures (MP) simultaneously, those who had already undergone MP and those who did not wish to undergo any FGCS (the control group; CG). In each group, 40 women were randomly selected from five clinical centres in Tehran, Iran, resulting in a total sample of 200 participants. The participants completed the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) and the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS). An intragroup analysis was conducted, comparing the LP subgroups (including both candidates and post-operative women) and the MP subgroups (similarly comprising candidates and post-operative women) independently against a control group (women not seeking FGCS). Additionally, women were asked about the influencing factors, leading to them pursuing FGCS.
resultsThe mean BAS-2 score among women who had undergone LP/MP was higher than that of women seeking surgery and that of the CG. Women seeking LP/MP had significantly lower FGSIS compared with women had undergone surgery and those in the CG. In addition, women who had undergone MP achieved a higher FGSIS score compared with the CG. Online media was the main information source about the surgery. Sexual partners, physicians and online media were highlighted as the main external factors in the final decision about FGCS. The post-surgical satisfaction rate was high in women and their partners.
conclusionWomen who had undergone FGCS reported an improved perception of body and genital image. Partners, physicians and online media had a crucial influence on women's decisions to undergo surgery.
