Three-Dimensional-Printed Vaginal Molds for Treating Postradiation Vaginal Stenosis.
Article in O&G open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundPelvic radiation therapy for gynecologic cancers often results in vaginal stenosis, negatively affecting sexual function. Vaginal dilation therapy has low adherence rates. Three dimensional (3D)-printed vaginal molds offer an individualized, passive alternative to maintain vaginal length and prevent stenosis. These personalized molds can be worn comfortably for extended periods, require minimal effort, and can preserve vaginal caliber and length. CASE: A 38-year-old patient with stage IVB adenosquamous cervical carcinoma, treated with pelvic radiation, experienced complete vaginal stenosis. She underwent lysis of vaginal adhesions, with an individualized 3D-printed mold placed after surgery; she resumed normal sexual function 6 months posttreatment.
conclusionA customized 3D-printed vaginal mold effectively maintained vaginal caliber and function after reconstructive surgery, increasing the patient's quality of life and sexual function.
