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 common in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to better characterize sexual dysfunction and associated factors among a Canadian cohort of IBD patients. Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted. The primary outcome was sexual dysfunction as measured by the Female Sexual Dysfunction Scale in females and the Male Sexual Dysfunction Scale in males. Analyses were stratified by sex and multiple linear regression was used to identify associations. Results: In total, 351 respondents completed the survey. Both females and males were impacted by sexual dysfunction (IBD-FSDS 14.1 [± 13.8] and IBD-MSDS 7.2 [± 9.4, respectively]). Depression was common and strongly associated with sexual dysfunction (β coefficient 0.92 [0.13] for men and 0.84 [0.19] for women, Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction was common and more impactful in women. Depression was strongly associated with sexual dysfunction. This underscores the need for multidisciplinary care in addressing sexual health among individuals living with IBD.
