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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare postoperative sexual, urinary, and bowel function, pain, and cosmetic satisfaction in women undergoing hysterectomy via vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery or total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indications.
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated 43 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (n=25) or vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (n=18) between January 2021 and June 2025. Functional outcomes were assessed using Female Sexual Function Index, Urogenital Distress Inventory-6, and Wexner scores; pain and cosmetic satisfaction were measured with Visual Analog Scale. Appropriate statistical tests were applied with p<0.05 considered significant.
resultsSexual, urinary, and bowel outcomes were similar between groups (p>0.05). Pain scores at 24 and 48 h were significantly lower in the vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery group (p=0.012 and p=0.028), and cosmetic satisfaction was higher (p=0.004).
conclusionVaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and total laparoscopic hysterectomy yield comparable functional outcomes, but vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery demonstrates advantages in postoperative pain and cosmetic satisfaction.
