Sexual Quality of Life in Subjective Tinnitus Individuals With Normal Hearing: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThis study aimed to assess the quality of sexual life among individuals experiencing subjective tinnitus and to draw comparisons with a control group.
methodsThe study included a group of 21 patients with subjective tinnitus as a case group and 21 healthy individuals as a control group. We used patient information form, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Female (SQOL-F), Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Male (SQOL-M), and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) as the data collection tool in this research.
resultsThe analysis showed no significant difference in average ASEX scores among the groups. It was determined that the SQOL-F and SQOL-M score averages were higher in the control group than the case group (p < 0.05). A statistically significant inverse correlation was observed between the THI score and the SQOL-M score among individuals experiencing subjective tinnitus in the case group. A statistically significant effect of tinnitus discomfort obtained by THI was found on sexual quality of life in men. In individuals with tinnitus, 43% of the SQOL-M scores evaluating the quality of sexual life in men can be explained by THI.
conclusionFirst of all the sexual quality of life scores of case group was worse than healthy individuals. In addition, the negative correlation between THI and sexual quality of life in male indicates that male individuals are more affected. The sexual quality of life in individuals with tinnitus should be specifically addressed by health professionals.
