Examination of Sexual Quality of Life and Dyadic Adjustment among Women with Mastectomy.
Article in European journal of breast health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo investigate the effect of mastectomy on sexual quality of life and dyadic adjustment among women with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was carried out in an analytical and retrospective way by comparing women with mastectomy and the control group who had similarities to this group and did not have breast cancer. The study included 88 women who underwent mastectomy surgery at least 1 year and at most 5 years ago and 88 women who did not undergo mastectomy with matching ages and levels of education. The data were collected using the "Individual Characteristics Form", "Sexual Quality of Life-Female", and the "Dyadic Adjustment Scale" for women with and without mastectomy.
resultsIn both groups sexual quality of life and dyadic adjustment were positively correlated. Sexual quality of life and dyadic adjustment of women with mastectomy were significantly lower compared to the control group. It was found that sexual quality of life improved as the education level of women with mastectomy increased. Also, sexual quality of life and dyadic adjustment were significantly higher in women with mastectomy whose income was equal to or greater than their expenditures compared to those with income lower than expenditures.
conclusionSexual quality of life and dyadic adjustment of women with mastectomy are low than women without mastectomy. Nurses should to assess the risk of low dyadic adjustment and sexual quality of life, educate and consultant women on how they can maintain healthy sexual relationships and dyadic adjustment with their spouse after mastectomy.
