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

backgroundWomen with mental illness (WMI) experience considerable disparities in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) when compared to the general population. Due to their restricted access to SRH services, they have unmet contraceptive needs, a greater prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and sexual dysfunction. The study aimed to explore the SRH issues of WMI in a tertiary care psychiatric outpatient clinic in Bengaluru, India. MATERIALS AND

methodA qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used. A reproductive age group (18-49 years) WMI (

resultThe codes revealed potential themes and subthemes. SRH issues faced by WMI were organized under three main themes, namely, (1) factors responsible for sexual dysfunction, (2) symptoms of STI and treatment adherence, and (3) use of contraception and its barrier.

conclusionsSexual dysfunction among WMI is contributed by numerous factors. Women were exhibited limited knowledge of STI symptoms and treatment compliance. Such women experience issues with current method of contraception and are unaware of the alternatives. The findings of this study may be helpful for clinical nurses in drawing attention to and increasing knowledge of the reproductive health issues that women with psychiatric disorders face, taking the required precautions, and devising strategies for minimizing harm.
