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

introduction and hypothesisNeovagina creation is an essential area of research in gynecological and reconstructive surgery, addressing congenital conditions like Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome and transgender health needs. This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research trends, influential contributors, and thematic developments in this evolving field.

methodsData were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, encompassing 357 publications from 56 countries. Bibliometric tools, including VOSviewer, were used to analyze publication trends, author and institutional contributions, and keyword co-occurrences. The study also visualized global collaborations and thematic patterns.

resultsThe United States and Italy emerged as the leading contributors, reflecting their advanced research infrastructure and resources. Frequently occurring keywords, including "neovagina," "vaginal agenesis," and "Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome," highlighted the focus on congenital conditions and surgical reconstruction. Time-series analysis revealed increasing attention to uterus transplantation and transgender health since 2018. However, the study identified limited contributions from low-resource regions and insufficient international collaboration.

conclusionsThis analysis highlights the evolving landscape of neovagina creation research, driven by multidisciplinary approaches and thematic diversity. While significant progress has been made, global disparities and research gaps remain. Addressing these issues through international collaborations and equitable research initiatives is critical to advancing clinical practices and improving outcomes for all patients requiring neovagina creation.
