Relationships between sexual function, mental health, and quality of life of female patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease.
Article in Pulmonary circulation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In recent years, the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has gradually increased, including new drugs and surgical methods, the mortality rate of PAH patients has significantly decreased, and the average survival rate has significantly improved. However, there was no obvious improvement in sexual health, mental health, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with PAH. Although an important dimension of QoL, little is known about sexual health and sexual health-related QoL of patients with PAH in China. In this study, the female sexual function index (FSFI) scale, the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), and emPHasis-10 were used to evaluate PAH associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH) patients' sexual function, mental health, and QoL. The score of sexual function in female CHD-PAH patients ranged from 4.40 to 34.80 points, and the average score was 26.80 (19.00-27.80) points. The detection rate of sexual dysfunction was 48.30%. The FSFI score of all dimensions of the sexual dysfunction group was significantly lower than that of the nonsexual dysfunction group. In addition, the scores of SCL-90 and emPHasis-10 were significantly higher than that of the nonsexual dysfunction group (
