The intimate link: a systematic review of highly effective reversible contraception and women's sexual experience.
Synthesis in Clinical obstetrics and gynecology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Contraception is expressly designed for nonprocreative sexual activity, but we know little about how methods shape women's sexual experience. To systematically review the literature on highly effective reversible contraception (HERC) and sexual experiences. MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant literature. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria; all were conducted outside of the United States. All studies reviewed found either improvements or no change in sexual experience and function outcomes with HERC use. A need exists for more prospective studies with a wider range of measures to assess HERC methods' impact on women's sexual experiences.
