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
Background: There are different degrees of erectile dysfunction in men after radical prostatectomy, and it takes a long time for their sexual satisfaction to improve. Before the recovery of sexual function, the patient's sexual relationship experience may change, which may affect the patient's family stability. Therefore, the present study aimed to comprehensively understand the sexual relationship experience of patients after radical prostatectomy. Methods: The present study was a qualitative study using the phenomenological method. Purposive sampling was used to select 16 patients with prostate cancer who were followed up after radical prostatectomy in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Colaizzi's seven-step process for the phenomenological approach was applied to data analysis. Results: Four themes and 11 subcategories were identified. Four major themes were "differences in the expression of sexual needs," "changes in sexual behavior," "changes in intimacy between spouses," and "changes in role cognition," respectively. Conclusion: After radical prostatectomy, many changes occur in the relationship between the sexes. Medical staff should actively guide the relationship between the sexes to help patients and their spouses face up to the changes after surgery, to help improve the relationship between the sexes and improve their quality of life.
