How can heart failure patients and their partners be counseled on sexual activity?
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Sexual intimacy is part of a healthy relationship and is often reflected in overall quality of life and satisfaction. There are many psychological, physical, and medical components that influence sexual activity in heart failure (HF), and patients and partners alike often have sexual concerns and misconceptions. This article addresses what is known about sexual concerns and sexual dysfunction from a variety of perspectives, and provides guidance for health care providers on the essential elements of sexual counseling for those with HF.
