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
Aims and background: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in older adults with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and its correlation with the severity of visual field (VF) defects. Additionally, potential associated factors with FSD were identified. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 210 female patients with POAG, aged between 40 and 80 years, from three tertiary centers in two states of Malaysia, conducted between September 2019 and 2020. FSD was assessed using the self-administered Bahasa Malaysia version of the Female Sexual Function Index-6 (MvFSFI-6), with scores of ≤19 indicating FSD. The severity of POAG was evaluated using the modified Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS) scoring system, predicated on two reliable consecutive VFs evaluated by two masked investigators, categorizing the condition as mild, moderate, or severe. Medical records were reviewed for POAG management and other systemic comorbidities. Sociodemographic data, including education and living status, were obtained from the participants. Results: The participants' average age was 66.7 (7.9) years. The prevalence of FSD is 78.5%. MvFSFI-6 scores decreased with age ( Conclusion: FSD is common among female patients with POAG. Sexual well-being is a crucial factor for women with POAG, particularly those with severe VF defects and lower education levels. Ophthalmologists, gerontologists, and women's health experts need to address this issue to ensure a better quality of life (QoL) for older adults. Clinical significance: Sexual dysfunction (SD) among women with POAG increases with the severity of the disease, especially among those with lower education levels. To ensure a good QoL for these women, sexual function should be included in the comprehensive management of POAG. How to cite this article: Chee CC, Sabah H, Yaakub A,
