The metabolic syndrome: a cause of sexual dysfunction in women.
Article in International journal of impotence research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a significant public health problem. We assessed the prevalence of FSD in premenopausal women with the metabolic syndrome as compared to the general female population. Compared with the control group (N = 80), women with the metabolic syndrome (N = 120) had reduced mean full Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score (23.2+/-5.4 vs 30.1+/-4.7, P < 0.001), reduced satisfaction rate (3.5+/-1.1 vs 4.7+/-1.2, P < 0.01), and higher circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP: 2.2 (0.6/4.9) vs 0.8 (0.2/2.9) mg/l, median (interquartile range), P = 0.01). There was an inverse relation between CRP levels and FSFI score (r = -0.32, P=0.02). Investigation of female sexuality is suggested for patients with the metabolic syndrome.
