Gynecoplastic Surgery: A Unified Terminology for Female Genital Aesthetic, Reconstructive, and Functional Procedures.
Review in Cureus, 2026. 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
The field of female genital aesthetic, reconstructive, and functional surgery has rapidly expanded due to advances in laser and regenerative technology, but its fragmented terminology currently limits academic cohesion and standardization. This narrative review proposes gynecoplastic surgery as a unified term that integrates the aesthetic, reconstructive, and functional domains of female genital surgery. The review was structured using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to consolidate knowledge on terminology, anatomical classification, and objective evaluation tools, including validated indices, such as the Vaginal Health Index and Vulvar Health Index, and imaging modalities, such as high-frequency ultrasound. The literature confirms a convergence of restorative, aesthetic, and functional procedural goals, supported by emerging objective metrics for vulvovaginal evaluation. Gynecoplastic surgery offers an encompassing framework, connecting the historical evolution of reconstructive gynecology with advances in imaging and regenerative therapies. Standardizing terminology under this framework will promote academic clarity, facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration, and align clinical practice with modern evidence-based assessment, supporting its future adoption in research, training, and patient communication.
