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
backgroundSexual self-care and quality of sexual life are critical factors in women's health. These factors can also influence women's fertility desire. This study aims to examine sexual self-care, quality of sexual life, and their relationship with fertility desire in women attending comprehensive health centers in Urmia.
methodsThis descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 384 women which were randomly selected using a multistage sampling method. Data were collected using standard validity and reliability questionnaires of sexual self-care, quality of sexual life and fertility desire. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, and multiple regression.
resultsThe average age of the participants was 32.92 ± 8.03 years. Women's education level and economic status were significantly associated with fertility desire (P < 0.05). Additionally, sexual self-care (B = 0.490,p < 0.001) and the quality of sexual life (B = 0.232,p < 0.001) were strong predictors of fertility desire. Together, they accounted for 92.8% of the variance in total fertility desire scores.
conclusionSexual self-care and the quality of women's sexual life are directly related to the fertility desire. Therefore, Participating in training workshops on body anatomy, menstrual cycle and sexual self-care techniques, providing private counseling sessions to investigate sexual concerns and problems, and providing suitable solutions will help women's fertility desire.
