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

introduction and hypothesisThe aim of this study is to examine the effects of persistent nocturnal enuresis on female sexual function.

methodsThis prospective study included adult females with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (group 1) and healthy controls (group 2), all of whom were sexually active and in a relationship, between March 2023 and April 2024. The comparative analysis of group 1 and group 2 was performed using individual items from the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the total FSFI score, and the overall Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) score. Additionally, the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) was employed to assess the patients' quality of life. The comparative statistical analyses were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test and the independent samples t test. Statistical significance was considered to be p < 0.05.

resultsA total of 60 patients were included, with 30 patients (age range 19-36) in group 1 and 30 healthy controls (age range 19-41) in group 2. Group 1 had a significantly higher I-QOL score (median 55, range 20-108) than group 2 (median 5, range 1-25; p < 0.001). FSFI score was significantly lower in group 1 across all domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain (p < 0.05 for all). The total FSFI score was also significantly lower in group 1 (16.21 ± 2.38) than in group 2 (24.50 ± 3.97; p < 0.001). Additionally, group 1 had a significantly lower median SES score (11, range 5-20) than group 2 (17, range 8-29; p < 0.001).

conclusionsNocturnal enuresis negatively affects sexual function and self-esteem in adult females. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing these aspects in the management of enuresis.
