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 objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and impact of female sexual dysfunction and sexual distress in women with endometriosis. This retrospective, analytical, observational study included patients diagnosed with ovarian endometriomas who underwent surgery to remove endometriosis lesions. The impact of endometriosis on the quality of sexual lives of patients before and after surgery was analyzed using a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 20 closed-ended questions. The study included 70 patients with endometriosis with a mean age of 32.70 ± 7.39 years. The majority of patients reported that the diagnosis of endometriosis negatively influenced their quality of sexual life (65.7%). Most patients (88.6%) experienced dyspareunia before surgery. A total of 36 patients (51.4%) stated that they had difficulty in obtaining pleasure during sexual intercourse. The intensity of dyspareunia had an important negative effect on the quality of sexual life of the patients. Following surgery, most patients (81.4%) reported improvements in their sexual quality of life, with a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity during intercourse (
