Sexual Dysfunction in Menopausal Women.
Article in Sexual medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
introductionHormone-related changes in menopause may negatively affect sexual function.
aimThe primary aim of this study was to evaluate sexual functioning in Polish women with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The secondary aim was to evaluate the major factors affecting sexual functions in middle-aged Polish women.
methodsThe Menopause Rating Scale was used to assess the menopausal symptoms. The Polish translation of the FSFI was used to assess sexual function. OUTCOMES: 69.73% of respondents had sexual dysfunction according to FSFI (FSFI score ≤ 26.55).
results80.61% of women experienced menopausal symptoms during the 4-week period of study. Psychological and urogenital symptoms were the most frequently reported among all the women enrolled in the study (78.23% and 77.21%). Sexual problems were observed in women who did not use hormone therapy (β = 0.09, t = -1.97, P = .048) and showed no somatic symptoms (β = 0.03, t = 2.95, P = .002). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: It is important for health care providers to ask women about this problem and understand the factors that may influence sexual problems in menopause. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS: A validated survey tool was used. The limitation was selection of participants in the clinical setting and sample population size.
conclusionSexual problems were much more common in women who did not use hormone therapy and showed no somatic symptoms. Dąbrowska-Galas M, Dąbrowska J, Michalski B. Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Sexual Problems Among Polish Middle-Aged Women. Sex Med 2019;7:472-479.
