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

In-person, individual counseling using the PLISSIT model is a well-known approach to help people with sexual problems. Evidence suggests that Grouped Sexuality Education (GSE) can be as effective as in-person sexuality education. The efficacy of PLISSIT versus GSE has not previously been evaluated in women with Breast Cancer (BC). In this paper, we report on the effect of PLISSIT versus GSE on self-reported sexual behaviors experienced by women after a BC diagnosis (n = 75). The women were randomly allocated into three groups, with 25 women in each arm. Data analysis of the intention-to-treat population (n = 65) revealed efficacy of both GSE and PLISSIT in improving sexual behaviors (
