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
Background: Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of muscles around the vaginal and one of the most common sexual disorders among women. It is often associated with psychological problems, leading to poor sexual quality of life (SQOL). This study aimed to determine SQOL predictors in women with vaginismus. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, convenience sampling was used to enroll 236 individuals with vaginismus among all women visiting sexual health clinics of Tehran, Iran in 2018. The data were collected using the Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The data were analyzed using the General Linear Model (GLM). Results: The mean (SD) SQOL score of the participants was 56.82 (20.18). There was a significant direct correlation between the participants' self-esteem and their SQOL ( Conclusion: The results indicated that psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem are predictors of SQOL in women with vaginismus.
