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

introductionSexual health literacy is an important factor affecting sexual health, and social determinants of health significantly increasing health literacy. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between social determinants of health and sexual health literacy.

methodThe present cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 married women of reproductive age referred to health centers in Tehran, Iran (2024). Questionnaires included demographic and obstetric details, Perceived Social Support, Socioeconomic Status, and Intimate Partner Violence. The statistical analysis was performed in SPSS-27, and the relationship model was examined using the path analysis method in LISREL-8.8.

resultsAccording to the path analysis, sexual health literacy was directly affected by domestic violence (B = -0.12) and perceived social support (B = 0.39). It was also indirectly affected by socioeconomic status (B = 0.44) and spouse education (B = 0.48).

conclusionThe results showed that some factors influence sexual health literacy in women both directly and indirectly. Given the factors identified in the suggested model, it is advisable to utilize this model as a suitable framework for research, design, and execution of initiatives concerning sexual health literacy.
