Genetic contributions to the stability and satisfaction in Sexual Relationships.
Review in Global medical genetics, 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
The stability and satisfaction of sexual relationships are critical determinants of individual well-being and societal cohesion. While much is known about the psychological and social factors influencing these outcomes, the genetic underpinnings remain an emerging field of inquiry. This literature review synthesizes findings from 42 peer-reviewed studies published between 2003 and 2023, exploring the genetic contributions to relationship stability and satisfaction. Key findings indicate that neuroticism, with an estimated heritability of ∼40 %, is a strong predictor of relationship instability, while agreeableness and extraversion are associated with greater relationship satisfaction. The review examines the genetic foundations of personality traits, attachment styles, emotional regulation, hormonal influences, sexual compatibility, communication styles, and mental health predispositions. Additionally, it highlights the interplay between genetic and environmental factors, presenting case studies and empirical evidence that elucidate the complex interactions at play. Ethical considerations and future research directions are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how genetics can shape successful sexual relationships. By bridging the gap between genetic research and relationship science, this review offers data-driven insights to guide future investigations in this interdisciplinary domain.
