Vaginal Lactobacillus Alteration and Vaginal Symptom Relief After Carbon Dioxide Vaginal Laser Therapy in Postmenopausal Women.
Trial report in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To assess changes in the prevalence and abundance of vaginal Lactobacillus after fractional micro-ablative carbon dioxide (CO Methods: This prospective, single-arm clinical study was conducted in postmenopausal women who underwent treatment with CO Results: Forty-three postmenopausal women with at least one symptom of VVA, with a mean age of 67.3 ± 8.7 years, were recruited. The mean Nugent scores for Lactobacillus morphotypes gradually decreased from 2.84 (95% CI: 2.38-3.29) at baseline to 2.28 (95% CI: 1.79-2.77) at week 8, 2.09 (95% CI: 1.60-2.58) at week 20, and further to 1.84 (95% CI: 1.31-2.35) at week 32 (p < 0.05). The prevalence of Lactobacillus increased from 27.9% (12/43) at baseline to 48.8% (21/43) at week 8, 55.8% (24/43) at week 20, and 58.1% (25/43) at week 32 (p < 0.05). VVA symptom severity and vaginal pH consistently declined from baseline to week 32 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Fractional CO
