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: Aesthetic refinement of labia minora reconstruction remains a challenge with the traditional penile inversion vaginoplasty, which may result in inadequately defined labia minora, a gaping introitus, or redundant labial folds. This study described a refinement based on nonpenile inversion vaginoplasty (NPIV) to address these limitations. Methods: The NPIV technique uses preputial and penile skin exclusively for external labial reconstruction. Labial aesthetic outcomes were assessed using either standardized photographs or patient-submitted images via telemedicine, graded with a 4-point aesthetic scoring system. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a customized patient-reported outcome measure with Likert-scale scoring (1-5). Clinical outcomes and complication profiles were also analyzed. Results: Between July 2023 and March 2025, 74 patients underwent primary vaginoplasty using the NPIV technique. Of these, 72 (97.3%) completed a 1-month follow-up. Mid- to long-term data were available in 42 (56.8%) patients, comprising 15 with standardized photographs and 27 with self-taken photographs. Most aesthetic ratings were excellent or good (80.9%). Patient-reported outcome measures data were available in 40 patients, with mean scores of 4.5 for appearance, 4.3 for symmetry, and 4.6 for overall satisfaction. The most frequent complication was introital wound dehiscence with minor labial necrosis (25.7%), followed by significant labia minora necrosis (12.2%), which occurred more often in circumcised patients (30.0% versus 5.6%, Conclusions: The NPIV technique offers a predictable and reproducible approach for labia minora reconstruction with improved labial contour and definition. Clinical and patient-reported outcomes demonstrate high satisfaction and favorable aesthetic results.
