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
backgroundFurther attention to genital organs has become a concern for women in line with changes in society's culture. In recent years, the number of surgeries has grown increasingly. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body image and satisfaction with sexual life of female genital cosmetic surgery volunteers in reproductive age women in Shiraz.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed on 160 women referring to Shiraz Health and Medical Centers willing to undergo female genital cosmetic surgery. Data collection was performed using Demographic Information Questionnaire, SWBI and Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. The data were analyzed through Spss24 software using Pearson statistical methods of correlation coefficient and one-sample t-test.
resultsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 women (average age of 30.83 ± 5.48) willing to undergo genital cosmetic surgery at Shiraz health and medical centers. The results of this study showed that women willing to undergo female genital cosmetic surgery are satisfied with their physical appearance. Correlation coefficient test between body image and satisfaction with marital life also showed that there is a significant relationship between these two variables (p < 0.001). This means that with the satisfaction of body image, the level of satisfaction with marital life also increases.
conclusionThe most important findings of this study included no correlation between women's negative perceptions of their bodies and dissatisfaction with sexual life with a tendency to cosmetic surgery on the genital area. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing this decision.
