Italian Validation of the Sexual Desire Inventory (SDI-2): Psychometric Properties and Factorial Structure.
Article in Clinical neuropsychiatry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveSexual desire is a psychological state that prompts individuals to engage in sexual activity. Although interest about this topic is constantly increasing, there are no validated instruments to measure sexual desire in Italy, making scientific studies difficult. This paper aims to provide a contribution to validation of the Sexual Desire Inventory-2 (SDI-2) for the Italian population, investigating factorial structure, invariance, reliability and validity.
methodThe sample was composed of 389 Italian participants from a nonclinical population. The thirteen-item SDI-2 and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) for measuring impulsiveness were administered.
resultsThe results supported two dimensions, i.e. dyadic and solitary desire, and partially measurement invariance across gender. Furthermore, good validity and reliability indicators have been gained.
conclusionsthe Italian version of the SDI-2 supports good psychometrics properties. It may be considered a valid and reliable measure for assessing dyadic and solitary sexual desire. Therefore, the present inventory may be used, in the research and clinical field, as an innovative instrument in order to investigate sexual desire and its relationship with clinical disorders.
