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
backgroundWomen with physical disability (WWPD) experience more sexual dysfunction, are typically less sexually active, and engage in fewer intimate relationships than women without physical disability. Although patient-reported outcome measures can help researchers and providers to meet the needs of this population, current measures fail to reflect the relevant experiences of WWPD. The purposes of this study were to 1) understand the experiences of WWPD related to sexual wellness, 2) identify the gaps in the current Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sexual Function and Satisfaction, and 3) develop a conceptual framework for the measurement of sexual well-being on which a new supplemental measure will be built.
methodsWWPD (n = 59) were recruited from an online health registry through a large academic medical center and took part in semistructured focus groups and interviews exploring experiences with sexuality, intimate relationships, sexual function, and sexual and reproductive health care. Interviews were transcribed and coded using an inductive approach to thematic analysis.
resultsParticipants expressed that their sexual well-being extends beyond simply physical function and includes aspects of their environment, society, and intrapersonal and interpersonal factors. From themes that emerged from the qualitative data, we developed a conceptual framework of sexual well-being, which includes sexual health and sexual self-efficacy. The framework is composed of five constructs that impact sexual health and sexual self-efficacy: physical factors, intrapersonal factors, environmental factors, relationships and partner opportunity, and stigma.
conclusionsThis conceptual framework can be used to develop patient-reported outcome measures items relevant to the experiences of WWPD, facilitate conversations between providers and patients, and identify areas to target for sexual wellness interventions.
