Experimental model of menopausal genitourinary syndrome: Ovariectomy and vaginectomy protocols in rats.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: The synthesis of estrogen hormones decreases during menopause, leading to various physiological changes that might affect a woman's quality of life. Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), which occurs because the vaginal and urethral epithelial layers contain a high density of estrogen receptors, is one of the most common clinical manifestations. These problems can be chronic and progressive, consequently affecting menopausal women's sexual and quality of life. Therefore, innovation in novel therapeutic modalities or improvements to current therapies is necessary. Aim: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive and precise protocol guide for ovariectomy and vaginectomy to establish a suitable animal model for GSM cases. Method: Forty Results: The study recommends the double dorsolateral incision technique as the most effective method for ovariectomy. Vaginectomy is essential for the objective evaluation of the vaginal and urethral epithelium in GSM and for the histological assessment of therapeutic response. Conclusion: The therapeutic modalities that result from a suitable animal model protocol are expected to guarantee safety and efficacy.
