Effects of non-pharmacological interventions on sexual health in patients with breast cancer: A network meta-analysis.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: This review systematically identifies and synthesizes evidence to examine the impact of non-pharmacological interventions on the sexual health of patients with breast cancer through a meta-analysis approach. Methods: From establishment to December 2, 2024, eight electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and Biomedical Literature Service System were searched. The inclusion criteria comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of non-drug interventions, controlled clinical trials and quasi-experimental studies. Two researchers independently conducted the literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included studies by employing the Cochrane quality evaluation manual. The two researchers conducted independent literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included studies using the Cochrane Manual 5.1.0 recommended RCT risk assessment tool for bias. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan5.3 and R studio GEMTC package. The inconsistency test model is employed to evaluate the overall inconsistency. If Results: A total of 2451 titles and abstracts were retrieved, resulting in the inclusion of 19 articles, covering 19 non-pharmacological intervention methods. The overall risk of bias analysis indicated lower risk in 3 studies and some concerns in 16 studies. The meta-analysis findings indicate that non-pharmacological interventions were associated with improved sexual health outcomes for patients with breast cancer, when compared to standard care practices. The top five non-drug interventions, ranked by effect size, were Stress management consulting [ Conclusions: In conclusion, Stress management consulting is recommended as the primary intervention for enhancing the sexual health in patients with breast cancer, emphasizing the need for tailored clinical nursing practices. However, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to validate these findings. Systematic review registration: CRD42023475462.
