Interoceptive Awareness and Female Orgasm Frequency and Satisfaction.
Article in Brain sciences, 2024. 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
backgroundThe female orgasm is a highly understudied phenomenon that is linked to both wellbeing and relationship satisfaction in women. Although orgasm has been associated with interoception-the sense of the physiological condition of the body-very few studies have directly examined the influence that interoception has on orgasm.
objectivesThis study investigates how the subjective experience of one's interoceptive capacities (called interoceptive awareness) is associated with self-reported orgasm frequency and satisfaction in people who identify as women.
methodsIn a dataset of 318 women, orgasm frequency and satisfaction were both rated significantly higher for solitary as compared to partnered sexual experiences.
resultsAnalysis of how dimensions of interoceptive awareness correlated with orgasm frequency and satisfaction showed that (1) 'Noticing' predicted orgasm frequency (but not satisfaction) across both solitary and partnered interactions, (2) 'Attention Regulation' predicted greater frequency and satisfaction of solitary orgasm (but not partnered interactions), and (3) 'Body Trusting' predicted orgasm satisfaction (but not frequency) across both solitary and partnered contexts.
conclusionsFindings underscore the importance of moving beyond orgasmic dysfunction research by investigating how interoception is associated with healthy-and potentially even optimal-orgasmic functioning in women.
