Demonstrating the principal mechanism of action of medical devices intended for vaginal use on reconstructed human vaginal epithelium: the case of two hyaluronic acid-containing devices.

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
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices (MDR) has significantly modified the rules to be adopted for MD qualifications and classification. New requirements require robust evidence on mechanisms of action (MoAs) that cannot be produced by existing common EU or ISO standards. Therefore, on a "case-by-case basis," a new evidence-based non-clinical approach to MD qualification must be defined. In this study, an
