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

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a common condition in postmenopausal women, marked by vaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, urinary incontinence and reduced sexual function. This study evaluated 50 women aged 45-70 years receiving 1470 nm diode laser therapy monthly for three months and pelvic floor chair therapy twice weekly for six weeks. Significant improvements were observed, with VAS scores for vaginal dryness and dyspareunia decreasing markedly, FSFI scores improving and urinary incontinence symptoms reducing as reflected by lower ICIQ-UI SF scores (all p < 0.001). The combined treatment demonstrated substantial symptomatic relief and enhancement of quality of life. Thus, a safe and effective non-hormonal approach for managing GSM is suggested.
