Factors influencing the quality of sexual life in the older adults: A scoping review.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Objective: Older people are often considered asexual, but sex is still important for older adults. So, this review aimed to analyze relevant studies on the sexual life of older adults to clarify factors, and provide a basis for their quality of sexual life. Method: A scoping review was performed according to Arksey and O'Malley's framwork, aiming to identify eligible research studies in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases. Peer-reviewed articles published in Chinese or English language from January 2012 to April 2022 were retrieved. All of identified studies were screened, extracted, and analyzed independently by two researchers. Result: A total of 7,374 studies were retrieved, and 13 eligible studies were finally included. The factors affect the sexual quality of life in older adults that included physiological, sociocultural, and health factors and being affected by marital relationships and a lack of relevant knowledge. Conclusion: The factors that affect the quality of old people's sex life interact and influence each other. Medical and health professionals can assist with the improvement of sexual health.
