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
introductionThere is a lack of studies using validated instruments to investigate prevalence and predictors of sexual dysfunction among young adults.
aimThis population-based observational study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of sexual dysfunction in young adults in Sweden and to compare sexual function in women and men.
methodsA random sample of the general population aged 19-40 years, identified via the Swedish population registry, was approached with a postal survey. A total of 819 individuals participated, 493 women (51% response) and 326 men (34% response). Predictors of sexual dysfunction were identified by multivariable logistic binary regression analyses.
main outcome measureSexual function and satisfaction were assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sexual Function and Satisfaction measure, version 2.0.
resultsAmong the women, 53% reported at least one sexual dysfunction; the corresponding figure for men was 31%. The most common sexual dysfunction in women was low sexual interest (reported by 32%), whereas low satisfaction with sex life was the most common dysfunction in men (reported by 17%). Men reported a higher level of sexual interest and orgasm ability than women, whereas women reported a higher level of orgasm pleasure than men. Regression models showed that in both women and men, having a partner was related to lower risk of dysfunction in the domains satisfaction with sex life and orgasm pleasure. Having children was related to low interest in sex in women, whereas it was related to dissatisfaction with sex life in men. Being born outside of Sweden predicted sexual dysfunction in both women and men, as did experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
conclusionSexual dysfunction is common in young adults, particularly in women. Risk factors of sexual dysfunction include not having a partner, having children, being an immigrant, and reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression. Ljungman L, Lampic C, Wettergren L, et al.
