1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Patients with coronary heart disease and their families often face numerous changes in their lives. Recommendations on sexual activity (SA) should be included in the management of these patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of knowledge and professional attitude regarding the patient's SA. Objective: A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was carried out. The data were obtained from a structured, virtual and anonymous survey that was carried out among cardiologists. Results: Three hundred forty-five surveys were analyzed. In total, 63.8% considered sexual dysfunction as a cardiovascular risk marker. Likewise, 68.1% considered it relevant or very relevant to ask patients about SA. Regarding counseling, it is believed that it should be initiated primarily by the cardiologist. A more active attitude regarding the re-initiation of SA after a cardiovascular event, a greater interest in SA training, more testosterone orders and more indications of phosphodiesterase inhibitors were observed in professionals older than 60 years and male compared to younger or female physicians, respectively. Conclusions: This study showed that the degree of knowledge of the patients about the aspects related to SA was poor. Given the relevance of the topic, we consider it important to strengthen medical education in all areas.
