The negative effect of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome on female sexual function: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International urogynecology journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introduction and hypothesisTo explore the effect of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) on female sexual function.
methodsDatabase searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for published literature using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) or reporting the prevalence of dyspareunia. Data extraction and quality evaluation were performed on the literature that met the inclusion criteria, and a meta-analysis was performed using STATA 12.0 and RevMan5.3 software to calculate the mean differences (MD) and odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsA total of nine case-control studies enrolling 4965 subjects were investigated. The present meta-analysis results demonstrated a strong correlation between UCPPS and dyspareunia (OR = 11.27, 95% CI: 5.15-24.67, P < 0.00001). The UCPPS group had significantly lower scores in each domain of the FSFI compared with the healthy control group: total score (MD = -11.35, 95% CI: -14.54- - 8.16, P < 0.00001); desire (MD = -1.04, 95% CI: -1.20- - 0.88, P < 0.00001); arousal (MD = -1.78, 95% CI: -2.36- - 1.20, P < 0.00001); lubrication (MD = -2.11, 95% CI: -2.49- - 1.73, P < 0.00001); orgasm (MD = -1.50, 95% CI: -1.72- - 1.28, P < 0.00001); satisfaction (MD = -1.54, 95% CI: -1.97- - 1.12, P < 0.00001); pain (MD = -2.89, 95% CI: -3.63- - 2.14, P < 0.00001).
conclusionsUCPPS had a significantly negative effect on female sexual function, particularly in the lubrication, pain, and total score domains. In addition, UCPPS patients had a significantly higher risk of dyspareunia. Psychosocial variables may be a potential pathogenesis of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). Future well-designed research is called for to develop a comprehensive estimate of the association between UCPPS and FSD.
