Assessing Sexual Health: A Comprehensive Scoping Review of Measurement Questionnaires.
Review in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The concept of sexual health is used in health promotion, because sexual health is one of the important pillars of human health. Neglecting this aspect of health and its evaluation and measurement can affect the quality of sexual life and cause people to face challenges in their lives. This research aimed to review the range of questionnaires on sexual health and the concepts and dimensions they cover. Methods: A systematic scoping review based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines from January 1, 2000, to January 31, 2023, was performed in 5 databases-including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar-with the keywords extracted from MeSH. This study is a type of scoping review conducted within the framework of Arksey and O'Malley's 5-step process. Results: From a total of 1783 manuscripts found, 65 articles met the inclusion criteria. Having reviewed the questionnaires, 2 types of indicators-(1) nonspecific indicators for sexual health and (2) special indicators of sexual health based on 3 physical (sexual performance, sexual dysfunction, and sexual activity), psychological (sexual satisfaction, intimate relationships, and sexual compatibility), and social (interpersonal relationships and sexual well-being) dimensions-were obtained. Conclusion: Despite the wide range of definitions and indicators used, a set of key indicators is apparent based on the results of this scoping review. These include knowledge and application of pregnancy prevention techniques, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infection prevention, sexual decision-making participation, sexual negotiation power, sexual communication skills, and sexual experiences and their impact on the quality of sexual life. This set of indicators can be systematically completed in each study based on the concept of promoting sexual health, however, additional indicators, take into account the sociocultural determinants of each society with sexual values and norms of the same cultural background.
