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

Background: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive study to determine the effect of menopause on the SFs and marital adjustment (MA) of the spouses. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of a total of 254 people, 127 of whom were postmenopausal women and their spouses. The data were collected with the Descriptive Information Form, the Female Sexual Function Scale (FSFS), the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASES), and the Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS). The Results: Sexual dysfunctions (SDs) were detected in 91.3% of women and 77.2% of men. MA was found to be low in 74.1% of the women. The relationship between the level of MA and the total mean score of the women's FSFS was found to be statistically significant ( Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that menopause affects the marriage and sexual adjustment of spouses negatively.
