1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

STUDY

designA randomized controlled trial.

objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of a mobile-based educational intervention on sexo-marital life in Iranian men with spinal cord injury (SCI).

settingFoundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs', "Spinal Cord Injury Association", and the "Protection Center of Spinal Cord Disables".

methodsParticipants were men with SCI aged at least 18 years old. The effectiveness of a mobile App was evaluated on 70 married men with SCI. Sexual adjustment, sexual satisfaction, marital adjustment, and marital satisfaction were assessed by valid and reliable questionnaires at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks after the intervention.

resultsThe between-group mean difference (95% CI) of sexual adjustment (4.2, CI: 3.6-4.8) after 4 weeks as well as 8 weeks (8.6, CI: 7.6-9.5) after baseline was significant (P < 0.001). The between-group mean difference (95% CI) of sexual satisfaction (6.9, CI: 8-11.2) after 4 weeks as well as 8 weeks (16.4, CI: 14.1-18.7) after baseline was significant (P < 0.001). There were significant increases in all the domains of marital satisfaction's between-group mean differences after 4 weeks as well as 8 weeks after baseline (P < 0.001). Repeated measures ANOVA showed there was no statistically significant increase in marital adjustment's between-group mean difference (95% CI) after 4 weeks (-0.1, CI: -0.1- 0, P < 0.16) as well as 8 weeks (0.4, CI: -0.3-1.1, P < 0.25) after baseline.

conclusionThe application-based educational intervention showed the positive effect of education on sexo-marital life in men with SCI. We recommend the rehabilitation team's healthcare providers embrace this educational strategy for individuals with SCI.
