1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Marital satisfaction plays a critical role in fostering healthy relationships between couples, with sexual satisfaction being a key determinant. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model on the sexual satisfaction of Iranian married men. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 100 married men in Sanandaj, Kurdistan, Iran. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which received an online educational program, or the control group, which did not receive any structured education. The intervention utilized multimedia content, including videos, infographics, and interactive materials, to address three key domains: information, motivation, and behavioral skills related to sexual satisfaction. Data were collected through three validated instruments: the Sexual Health Questionnaire (based on the IMB model), the Male Sexual Function Scale, and Larson's Sexual Satisfaction Scale. Assessments were conducted at baseline (pre-test) and 16 weeks after the intervention (post-test). Results: Significant improvements were observed in the intervention group compared to the control group across all (IMB) model constructs and sexual satisfaction measures ( Conclusion: The educational intervention based on the (IMB) model, delivered through an online multimedia platform, was effective in enhancing sexual satisfaction among the participants. This highlights the value of theory-driven, digitally delivered health education programs in improving men's sexual health.
