Female sexual function index for screening of female sexual dysfunction using DSM-5-TR criteria in Thai women: A prospective cross-sectional diagnostic study.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Thai Female Sexual Function Index discrimination using the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision criteria has not been investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the Female Sexual Function Index as a tool for assessing sexual symptoms and to determine the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in Thai women using the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision criteria. This prospective cross-sectional diagnostic study included sexually active women aged ≥18 years, interviewed from January to June 2023. The participants completed the Thai version of a comprehensive of the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire encompassing general information and self-reported assessments of female sexual function, followed by a semi-structured interview of distress symptom severity. Female sexual function was determined by screening of the total Female Sexual Function Index score, whereas female sexual dysfunction was evaluated using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision criteria. Using receiver operating characteristic curves, a clinical cutoff for the Female Sexual Function Index score of 23.1 was determined to identify female sexual dysfunction (area under the curve, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.80; sensitivity, 75.6%; specificity, 67.7%; positive predictive value, 77.7%; negative predictive value, 65%). A prevalence of 40.2% for female sexual dysfunction was observed in the study population. The results of this study could be used as practical guidance for the screening of women affected by female sexual dysfunction in Thailand in the future.
