Sexual function and sexual activity in young total hip arthroplasty Chinese patients: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: As an essential component of quality of life, there is limited evidence of sexual function (SF), especially for young patients, before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aims to enhance the understanding of SF status and assess patient perspectives before and after THA. Methods: A total of 109 patients who received THA were enrolled into our retrospective cohort study. To assess the SF status before and after THA, patients were required to fill out a standardized SF questionnaire [female sexual function index (FSFI) or brief sexual function inventory (BSFI) for males] and a specifically designated questionnaire regarding perspectives toward sexual activity and attitudes to sexual-related information. Results: Total average scores of both FSFI and BSFI were higher post-THA. For female patients, the FSFI scores were significantly higher in the domain of desire, orgasm, and satisfaction ( Conclusion: The majority of men and women who underwent THA reported their SF status return to baseline or have improved, mainly attributable to less pain and greater mobility. Age and severity of hip pain/stiffness were the factors that could affect patients' SF status. Sexual education for young THA patients is needed due to the lack of related information during hospitalization.
