Sexual Dysfunction in Female Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Overview.
Review in Clinical and experimental gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Sexual dysfunction is common among females with inflammatory bowel disease and may result in issues involving intimacy, sexual activity, and satisfaction, as well both the formation and preservation of personal relationships. Risk factors for sexual dysfunction include select surgical interventions, medications, mental illnesses, and IBD-related intestinal and extraintestinal comorbidities. In addition, certain demographic factors such as age, disease type and activity may influence the severity of sexual dysfunction. Evaluation of sexual dysfunction may include the use of validated sexual functioning questionnaires, a brief mental health assessment, initial inquiry into vulvovaginal or perineal symptoms, and a gynecologic and GI-focused physical exam. An interdisciplinary care team involving IBD specialists, obstetrician-gynecologists, pelvic floor physical therapists, and primary care physicians may be best suited to provide optimal care and treatment recommendations for patients with sexual dysfunction. Options for management often include pelvic floor physical therapy, biofeedback, and mental health support. Further research is necessary to delineate the impact of IBD activity on sexual dysfunction, to determine if health outcome differences exist depending on surgical approaches utilized during J-pouch operations, and finally to evaluate the care and perceptions of patients with IBD who identify as sexual and gender minorities.
