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
introductionThe Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA revised (PISQ-IR) measures sexual function in women with pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD). The aim of this study was to translate the PISQ-IR to Norwegian and to assess its psychometric properties.
methodsThe instrument was translated and reviewed through cognitive interviews with women from the target group and multidisciplinary clinical experts to establish face/content validity and cultural equivalence. Thereafter, a cross-sectional study of women with PFD from two Norwegian University hospitals was conducted. Floor and ceiling effects and internal consistency were calculated for all subscales. Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and by testing 19 theoretically derived hypotheses.
resultsOf 157 respondents, 111 (71%) women considered themselves sexually active (SA) and 46 (29%) non-sexually active (NSA). Item nonresponse rate varied from 4 to 36% in the subscales. For the NSA subscales, both floor and ceiling effect was detected. EFA mainly supported the original structure for both the SA and NSA subscales, although not completely consistent and with many cross-loadings. Unidimensional factors were assessed and confirmed the presence of one factor within all subscales for SA women and three for NSA women (except NSA-PR). Construct validity confirmed 16 of the 19 predefined hypotheses (84%). All subscales exhibited good internal consistency.
conclusionsThe Norwegian PISQ-IR demonstrated good face/content validity, internal consistency and construct validity, and can be used to assess sexual function among sexually active women with PFD. A small sample size of NSA women precludes drawing firm conclusions regarding structural validity for NSA subscales.
