Sexuality, Contraception, and Pregnancy in Kidney Transplantation.
Review in Kidney medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Sexual dysfunction is defined as any abnormality in sexual arousal, libido, intercourse, orgasm, or satisfaction. It is prevalent in patients with chronic and end-stage kidney disease, with 70% to 84% of men and 30% to 60% of women reporting some form of sexual dysfunction. Although kidney transplantation improves the overall quality of life for patients receiving dialysis, it can have unexpected effects on sexual function owing to the use of immunosuppressive medications and comorbid illnesses. It is important to recognize these adverse effects and pre-emptively discuss them with patients to help mitigate consequent psychosocial discontent. Women of reproductive age will often recover fertility after kidney transplantation and therefore need to be empowered to prevent unwanted pregnancies and plan for a safe pregnancy if desired. Complications such as preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, ectopic pregnancy, still birth, low birth weight, and preterm birth are more common in pregnant women with a kidney transplant. Careful monitoring for infection, rejection, and immunosuppressive dose adjustment along with comanagement by a high-risk obstetrician is of utmost importance. Breast-feeding is safe with most immunosuppressive medications and should be encouraged.
