Post stroke sexual dysfunction - a current review.
Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionSexual dysfunction manifests as various challenges during sexual activity and is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts quality of life. Post stroke sexual dysfunction (PSSD) is particularly concerning, yet it is often overlooked by both healthcare providers and patients.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature review, examining research and reports related to sexual dysfunction following stroke. Our aim is to synthetize an extensive, detailed and up-to-date overview of its prevalence, underlying mechanisms, and interventions. RESULTS AND
conclusionPSSD, often underestimated among stroke survivors, has a high incidence but remains poorly understood in terms of its neurobiological mechanisms. Swift and accurate diagnosis, coupled with timely rehabilitative intervention, is crucial. However, the development of comprehensive guidelines is impeded by a lack of high-quality literature. This review seeks to present recent advances in understanding PSSD, and to advocate for a structured strategy in terms of the long-term rehabilitation of stroke survivors.
