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

introductionSexual dysfunction (SD), a prevalent health concern, can significantly impact an individual's overall well-being and intimate relationships. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has emerged as a promising and accessible intervention for addressing this issue. Therefore, this review aims to assess the impact of ICBT on SD among adults. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Searches will be conducted on PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science (ISI), Trialserach.who.int, and ClinicalTrials.gov, as well as search engines like Google Scholar. This review will focus on randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of ICBT in addressing SD. The initial search and subsequent removal of duplicate entries will be conducted by the principal investigator. Two independent reviewers will then perform study selection, data extraction, and two independent assessors will assess methodological quality using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool 2 (RoB 2). The final data synthesis strategy will be contingent upon the characteristics and availability of the included studies. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023431255. ETHICAL CODE: IR.SHMU.REC.1403.079.
