Sexual quality of life after gynaecological cancer: what young women want.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposePsychosexual distress is known to be a common complication of treatment for gynaecological cancer (GC), affecting the sexual quality of life (SQoL) for an increasing number of young gynaecological cancer survivors (YGCS). The SQoL in YGCS study aimed to identify strategies that are acceptable and helpful to YGCS in protecting and improving SQoL, using a salutogenic approach.
methodsA qualitative study was undertaken with young women aged 18-45 and pre- or perimenopausal at diagnosis. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on Zoom and a thematic analysis of transcripts was completed in NVivo.
resultsFifteen interviews with YGCS revealed three themes for strategy development: psychosexual education, psychosocial support, and healthcare policy and strategy to establish SQoL as standard care in gynaecologic oncology.
conclusionThe strategies put forward by YGCS showed the need for a holistic, patient-centric, and multidisciplinary approach to SQoL. A better understanding of the strategies acceptable to YGCS, including the importance of using a trauma-informed approach to communication and care, can help healthcare providers play a vital role in protecting and improving SQoL.
