1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo determine the factors associated with sexual dysfunction in pregnancy.

methodsA cross-sectional facility-based study using quantitative methods was carried out among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital from 14th May to 25th June 2018. Four hundred and twenty-seven married or cohabiting women who were at least eight weeks pregnant and have been living together with their partners for at least four weeks prior to the survey were consecutively recruited. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) tool was used to assess their sexual function. Pearson's Chi Square, Fischer's exact, Mann Whitney and Student's t-tests were used for bivariate analysis where appropriate between sexual dysfunction (dependent variable) and demographic, obstetrics and gynecologic factors (independent variables). Multiple logistic regression was done. Statistical significance was set at p-value of less than 0.05 at bivariate and multivariable analyses.

resultsThe mean age of the respondents was 30.8 ± 4.8 years. Their mean gestational age was 32.3 ± 7.1 weeks. Marital status and duration of stay in marriage or cohabitation were significantly associated with sexual dysfunction with adjusted odds ratios of 1.88 (p-value < 0.05) and 1.08 (p-value < 0.05) respectively.

conclusionCohabiting and increasing length of stay with spouse are significantly associated with sexual dysfunction in pregnancy.
