Improvement in Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor-Associated Sexual Dysfunction With Buspirone: Examining the Evidence.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sexual dysfunction is a common problem for patients taking antidepressants, with the highest prevalence rates observed with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Sexual dysfunction can be distressing for patients and may lead to medication non-adherence; thus, it is important for the prescribers to be aware of the available treatment strategies, as well as of the strength of the evidence that supports their use. We present the case of a patient who developed delayed ejaculation after the initiation of sertraline for the treatment of depression. The patient's sexual dysfunction resolved after the addition of buspirone. A discussion of this case is followed by a review of the existing literature examining the possible role of buspirone in the treatment of SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction.
