Risk factors associated with sexual dysfunction in Brazilian postmenopausal 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 8 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 function represents an important component of health and life quality. The objective of this study was to assess female sexual function in postmenopausal women and to identify factors associated with sexual dysfunction among this population. From August to December 2013 a cross-sectional study was carried out with 111 postmenopausal, sexually active women aged 45-65 years. A semi-structured questionnaire made up of itemized questions was applied to identify demographic variables, socio-economic and clinical issues. Participants were requested to fill out the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Menopause Rating Scale. Among the studied group, 70.3% of the women presented sexual dysfunction (FSFI⩽26.6). The affected domains were desire and arousal (P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the main risk factors associated with postmenopausal sexual dysfunction were: marital status (prevalence ratio (PR) 1.67; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17-2.39; P<0.01), urogenital dysfunction (PR 1.08; 95% CI 1.03-1.12; P<0.00), bladder surgery (PR 1.35; 95% CI 1.09-1.66; P<0.01) and sexual abuse (PR 1.45; 95% CI 1.21-1.72; P<0.00). Our results show a high female sexual dysfunction among postmenopausal women. Sexual dysfunction was associated with multiple factors such as: socio-demographic factors, biological factors (urogenital dysfunctions, bladder surgery), psychological matters and sexual abuse.
