Quality of Sex Life in Intestinal Stoma Patients-A Literature Review.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
introductionStoma surgery may reduce the quality of life, including sex life. A literature review was undertaken to explore what factors impact on the sexual health and sexuality of people with a stoma. METHODOLOGY: A review of the literature was undertaken using the online databases Cochrane, PsychInfo, Embase and Pubmed. The search was limited to articles on colostomates and ileostomates in the English language that were peer-reviewed and written in the past 5 years.
resultsIntestinal stoma surgery affects many aspects of a patient's life, including body image, relationship with a partner and quality of sex life. The introduction of perioperative educational programmes for patients qualified for ostomy surgery and their relatives will provide the necessary support in the face of physical and mental difficulties that may be associated with the procedure.
