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
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the cutoff scores for sexual dysfunction in disease-specific Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA Revised (PISQ-IR) for women with pelvic floor disorders (PFD). Medical history and urogynecological data of 521 women with PFD were collected. The subjects provided information about their sexual activity and completed Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and PISQ-IR questionnaires. Sexually active (SA) women were further analyzed and categorized using their FSFI scores: <26.55-sexual dysfunction, >26.55-no sexual dysfunction. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve tested how well PISQ-IR allowed to discriminate between patients with and without sexual disorders. Area under curve (AUC) was calculated to measure the PISQ-IR Summary Score efficiency in the prediction. The cutoff values which minimalize (1-specifity) and maximize sensitivity were selected. In the analyzed cohort, 250 (48%) women were SA and a total of 226 SA were recruited for the study: 143 (63.3%) with <26.55 FSFI and 83 (36.7%) with >26.55 FSFI (response rate: 90.4%). Using ROC curve analysis, PISQ-IR Summary Score of 2.68 was determined to be the optimal cutoff for distinguishing between dysfunctional and nondysfunctional women (AUC = 0.85), allowing to diagnose sexual dysfunction in SA women with PFD, with 90% sensitivity and 71% specificity.
