Sex and aging: Perspectives of older adult women with experience of incarceration.
Article in Journal of women & aging. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
To explore perspectives on sexuality, sexual health, and sexual health care of older adult women with a history of criminal legal system involvement, we conducted phone interviews with women aged 50 years or older who were living in the community but had a history of jail and/or prison incarceration. Interview questions and initial analysis were guided by the sexual health framework for public health and Mitchell's sexual wellness model. Data analysis followed a framework method. Nine women, aged 53-66, participated in phone interviews between December 2020 and December 2021. Slightly over half the participants were Black; none were Hispanic. Most were single. We formulated a sex-in-aging (SAGE) framework comprising three categories and two overarching themes. Women with a history of criminal-legal system involvement have heterogeneous views on sex and sexual health and describe a range of desire and sexual activity as they age, including shifting ideas about what they expect from partners, how they keep themselves safe in sexual and intimate relationships, and how life circumstances that are often associated with criminal legal system involvement (substance use, trauma) impact their interest in sex as they age. The SAGE framework integrates these categories and themes and offers a starting point for further research and intervention development.
