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

Headache is one of the chronic disorders that can trigger sexual dysfunction due to complex mechanisms. This study recruited 120 consecutive patients from our outpatient clinics with migraine (n = 60), TTH (n = 60) as well as healthy age-matched controls (n = 60) for a total of 180 patients. All the participants were evaluated by the Arabic version of the female sexual function index (ArFSFI: 19 items), the abridged 5-item version of the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5), hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS: 14 items), visual analog scale (VAS) score, and the headache impact test questionnaire (HIT-6TM: 6 items). A significant correlation was noticed between scores of total ArFSFI in women with TTH and their partners' IIEF-5 scores (r = 0.773, p < 0.001). In contrast, significant negative correlations were also found between scores of total ArFSFI in women with migraine(r - 0.327, p 0.011), HADS-A scores (r - 0.504, p < 0.001), HADS-D scores (r - 0.579, p < 0.001), HITS scores (r - 0.413, p 0.001), VAS scores (r 0.737, p < 0.001), and their partners' IIEF-5 scores (r - 0.839, p < 0.001). Interestingly, our study had shown a bidirectional relation between SD, anxiety, and depression subscales of HADS in females with migraine only (28.49 ± 9.46, 13.54 ± 4.44, 15.17 ± 7.73 respectively, p 0.009), while females with migraine and SD reported statistical higher scores of anxiety and depression (25.21 ± 11.70, 12.71 ± 4.20, 17.95 ± 8.05, respectively, p 0.006). This study had demonstrated that drug-naïve Egyptian females with migraine are more prone to SD than those with TTH.
