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: Genito-pelvic pain and penetration disorder (GPPPD) affects multiple aspects of a woman's life, yet its biopsychosocial impact in the Italian context remains underexplored. Aim: This study aimed to investigate differences in psychosocial and sexual well-being between women with and without self-reported GPPPD. Methods: A sample of 310 women ( Outcomes: The outcomes of the study were the levels of the vaginal penetration-related cognitions, alexithymia, relationships with mother and partner, and life and sexual satisfaction. Results: Women with GPPPD reported higher negative cognitions related to penetration, higher levels of alexithymia, a lower quality of the relationship with both the partner and the mother, as well as lower life and sexual satisfaction than the control group. Clinical Translation: These findings emphasize the need for multidisciplinary approaches addressing cognitive, emotional, and relational factors to improve the well-being of women with GPPPD. Strengths and Limitations: Strengths include the comprehensive assessment of biopsychosocial factors. Limitations involve reliance on self-reported diagnosis, potential recruitment bias, and the cross-sectional nature of the study. Conclusion: The study highlights the extensive impact of GPPPD on women's well-being, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions targeting the disorder's psychological and relational dimensions.
