The effect of overactive bladder treatment with anticholinergics on female sexual function in women: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in International urology and nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to determine the effect of anticholinergics used for overactive bladder treatment on the sexual function of women.
methodsBetween January 2016 and August 2018, over 18 years old, 216 sexual active women with OAB and 165 healthy women as control group were prospectively enrolled in the study. Five different anticholinergics were used for the treatment. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), eight-item overactive bladder awareness tool (OAB-V8), and Beck Depression Inventory form were completed before and after 3 months. Baseline and post-treatment scores were compared with a control group of age-matched healthy women.
resultsPatients with OAB reported at baseline significantly worse sexual function in all FSFI domains compared to healthy control group (21.47 ± 3.22 vs. 26.79 ± 5.56, p < 0.01). Three months after treatment, over 85% of participants reported clinically relevant improvements in sexual function, with statistically significant changes in mean FSFI scores.
conclusionsTreatment of OAB with anticholinergics can improve sexual function of sexual active women with OAB. Patients may be informed about this potential benefit of anticholinergic treatment, to improve their sexual function.
