Squill oil for decreasing dyspareunia and increasing sexual satisfaction in menopausal women: A triple-blind randomized controlled trial.

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
objectiveThe present study aimed to investigate the effect of squill oil on dyspareunia and sexual satisfaction in menopausal women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present triple-blind randomized two-group controlled trial was conducted on 60 menopausal women (n=30 in placebo group and n=30 in squill oil group) in Mashhad in northeast of Iran in 2019. The Sabbatsberg Sexual Self-Rating Scale and Marinoff dyspareunia scale were the main tools used in this study. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups namely, squill oil group and placebo group and they received the treatments for 4 weeks. Questionnaires were completed before and 4 weeks after the intervention in both groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 24 by Mann-Whitney, t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA with a significance level of less than 0.05.
resultsThe average age in the squill oil group and placebo group were 53.5±2.2 and 51.7±4.5 years, respectively. There was a significant difference (p<0.001) between the two groups in terms of dyspareunia score before (1±3.6 vs 1±3.5) and after intervention (0.7±0.1 vs 1.2±1.2) in two groups.Results of independent t-test indicated that there was a significant difference (p<0.001) between the two groups in terms of sexual satisfaction before (23.4±5.7 vs 23.1±2.8) and after intervention (36.5±5.6 vs 24.8±2.5) in two groups.
conclusionUsing squill oil can cause a reduction in painful sexual intercourse and an increase in sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women.
