Global prevalence of sexual dysfunction among diabetic patients from 2008 to 2022: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Background: Both men and women can have a wide range of physical, emotional, and sexual issues as a result of diabetes. One of them is sexual dysfunction, which has an effect on marital relationships as well as the effectiveness of therapy and can develop into a serious social and psychological condition. As a result, the purpose of this study was to identify the global prevalence of sexual dysfunction among diabetic patients. Methods: Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed were all searched for information. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel (v. 14), STATA statistical software, and STATA. Publication bias was investigated by a forest plot, rank test, and Egger's regression test. To detect heterogeneity, I Results: The study was able to include 15 of the 654 publications that were evaluated since they met the criteria. 67,040 people participated in the survey in all. The pooled global prevalence of sexual dysfunction among diabetic patients was 61.4% (95% CI: 51.80, 70.99), I2 = 71.6%. The frequency of sexual dysfunction was highest in the European region (66.05%). For males, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 65.91%, while for females, it was 58.81%. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were more likely (71.03%) to experience sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: Finally, sexual dysfunction was fairly common all across the world. There were variations in the prevalence of sexual dysfunction depending on the sex, type of diabetes, and location of the study participant. Our findings imply that screening and appropriate treatment are required for diabetes persons exhibiting sexual dysfunction.
