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

Background Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent. The Loyola University Medical Center Sexual Wellness Program (LU-SWP), a multidisciplinary program, uses a biopsychosocial and educational model to collaborate with patients in their treatment. Objective This study aims to examine the reported satisfaction scores for the LU-SWP and its activities based on a patient survey completed at the end of the program. Patient involvement Patients of the LU-SWP completed surveys gauging their opinions on presentations given and techniques used during the 6-week program. These surveys aided in program adjustments that increased patient-centeredness. Methods It is a retrospective assessment of patient satisfaction scores of the LU-SWP from 2014 to 2020. Results Eighty-five of the 90 participants completed the survey, giving a 94% response rate. The mean age of the participants in this program was 49.8 years (SD = 13.768). The mean program satisfaction score was 8.51 (SD = ±1.43). Conclusions Because of this study, patient satisfaction scores aided in updating aspects of the LU-SWP. The scores give patients a voice in their care and allow previous patients to act as advocates for future patients.
