Sexual Quality of Life of Breast Cancer Survivors: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimSexual quality of life (SQL), one of the essential issues of sexual and reproductive health, negatively affects the overall quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the SQL of breast cancer survivors.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 410 breast cancer survivors were recruited in a two-stage sampling process. The quota sampling method was employed in the first stage, and convenience sampling was used in the second stage between December 2020 and September 2021. The data were collected using the sexual Quality of Life-Female, Female Sexual Function Index, Revised Religious Attitude.
resultsThe mean age of the participants and the time since the disease diagnosis were 42.64 ± 6.02 years and 13.9 ± 4.80 months, respectively. The mean score of SQL was 66.65 ± 10.23 (95% Confidence Interval: 66.63-67.62). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the SQL of breast cancer survivors was significantly correlated with their occupation (β=0.12, P<0.008), education (β=-0.23, P<0.001), their spouse's education (β=0.16, P<0.001), belief in the sex initiation by the spouse (β=0.23, P<0.001), fear of being hurt by sexual intercourse (β=0.21 P < 0.001), receiving training about sexual relations (β = 0.1, P < 0.049), lumpectomy (β = 0.11, P < 0.001), sexual function (β = 0.13 β = 0.001), and religious attitude (β = 0.27, P < 0.001). These factors explain 60% of the variance of the SQL score.
conclusionConsidering the various factors contributing to the SQL of breast cancer survivors can inform interventions targeted at improving the health status of these women.
