Sexuality, Intimacy, and Reproductive Health after Spinal Cord Injury.
Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-altering event often accompanied by a host of anxiety-provoking questions and concerns in the minds of affected individuals. Questions regarding the ability to resume sexual activity, partner's satisfaction as well as the ability to have biological children are just a few of the unknowns facing patients following the devastating reality that is SCI. As a result of advances in SCI research over the last few decades, providers now have the knowledge and tools to address many of these concerns in an evidence-based and patient-centered approach. SCI can impair multiple components involved in sexual function, including libido, achieving and maintaining an erection, ejaculation, and orgasm. Many safe and effective fertility treatments are available to couples affected by SCI. Finally, learning to redefine one's self-image, reinforce confidence and self-esteem, and feel comfortable communicating are equally as important as understanding functionality in regaining quality of life after SCI. Thus, this review aims to highlight the current state of SCI research relating to sexual function, reproductive health, and the search for meaning.
