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

objectiveAim of the study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in cervical cancer (CC) survivors to a healthy female population. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis observational prospective trial was conducted at Thammasat University Hospital, Thailand, between April 2023 and February 2024. Participants were CC survival who attended an outpatient cancer clinic. Subject with age between 30 and 60 years old and engaged in sexual intercourse at least once within the last 4 weeks were recruited. The control group was women who attended outpatient gynecologic clinic for routine pelvic examination with no serious medical diseases and no malignancy. The female sexual function index (FSFI) was applied to all the participants during the survey. Other demographic data of the participants were collected.

resultsA total of 116 cases were enrolled in the study. Participants were equally divided into the study and control groups. The mean age and BMI of participants were 49.4 years and 24.7 kg/m², respectively without statistical significance. The FSD's prevalence of the CC survival was significantly higher than control group (34.5 and 10.4 percent, respectively). CC survivors reported significantly poorer outcomes in the domains of lubrication, sexual satisfaction, and pain compared to the control group.

conclusionThe prevalence rates of CC survival and control group was 34.5 and 10.4 percent, respectively. Three out of six FSFI domains namely lubrication, satisfaction, and pain showed more problematic for CC survivors compared to control group.
