[Vaginoplasty to address gender incongruence].
Review in Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
backgroundVaginoplasty is a key genital gender-affirming procedure for transfeminine individuals seeking surgical treatment. Long-term success is determined by surgical, functional, sexual, and psychosocial outcomes.
objectiveThis article aims to summarize and critically appraise the evidence on indications, techniques, complications, voiding function, pain, sexual function, health-related quality of life, satisfaction, and follow-up. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe article comprises a narrative review based on selected original studies, review articles, and the current German S2k guideline on surgical measures for gender incongruence.
resultsPenile-inversion vaginoplasty is an established technique; alternative tissue options are relevant in cases of tissue shortage and revision surgery but can also be applied in the primary setting. Prospective and retrospective data indicate predominantly high satisfaction and favorable patient-reported outcomes. Neoclitoral sensitivity is important for sexual experience. Voiding symptoms, pain, stenosis, and other complications require structured assessment and treatment.
conclusionVaginoplasty outcomes are multidimensional. Decision-making, counseling, surgical expertise, and needs-based long-term follow-up should integrate anatomical, functional, sexual, and psychosocial aspects.
