1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sexual dysfunction is a highly prevalent condition in women attending urogynecological services. However, only a minority of urogynecologists screen all patients for female sexual dysfunction. Lack of time, uncertainty about therapeutic options and older age of the patient have been cited as potential reasons for failing to address sexual complaints as part of routine history. Evidence from large prospective studies have shown that prolapse and/or incontinence adversely affect sexual function. Assuming that the physical effect of prolapse and incontinence is one of the contributing factors for sexual dysfunction, one could logically assume that an intervention leading to their improvement should improve sexual function. Current evidence of the effect of conservative and surgical management of pelvic floor disorders on sexual function is encouraging. More research is needed using standardised assessment tools to define clear endpoints in sexual function.
