Sexual issues in people with haemophilia: Awareness and strategies for overcoming communication barriers.
Article in Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionThe Haemophilia Experiences, Results and Opportunities (HERO) Study identified sexual health as an important psychosocial issue affecting people with haemophilia (PWH) worldwide. However, sexual health is inadequately addressed at haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs), because PWH and healthcare professionals (HCPs) experience barriers to broaching the subject. There is a clear need for HCP training to support communication in this area and improve comprehensive care.
aimThe Sexual Health: Strategies for Effective Communication pilot programme was trialled in Canada to assess HCP readiness and ability to discuss sexual health issues with PWH and test communication tools to facilitate these conversations.
methodsThe pilot programme consisted of two 3-h sessions attended by seven HCPs from Calgary's Alberta Children's and Foothills Hospitals. The sessions included lectures and case scenarios and explained the check-in-affirm-clarify-answer and head-heart-body tools designed by the Centre for Sexuality to aid communication. The pilot was evaluated through discussions and an online questionnaire.
resultsThe pilot was well received by all HCP participants. Questionnaire data showed improvements in participants' knowledge, skills and comfort level in conducting sexual health discussions. Greatest improvements were noted in knowledge (100% 'good' or 'excellent' after the pilot, compared with 29% beforehand). Importantly, 86% felt that the material presented would be applicable in clinical practice.
conclusionThe Canadian pilot demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed educational programme. The underlying principles could be adapted to similar programmes for other HTCs to facilitate sexual health discussions.
