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
backgroundSexual dysfunction (SD) is difficulty experienced by an individual or couple during any stage of normal sexual activity, including physical pleasure, desire, preference, arousal, or orgasm. SD has been associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) in both males and females and it affects overall quality of life and physical and emotional health and thus deserves more attention.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence and presentation pattern of SD in persons with type 2 diabetes who are receiving care in a tertiary health institution in Nigeria.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted on both male and female participants with type 2 DM. The International Index Erectile Function questionnaire-5 was used to assess for male SD and the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire was used for female SD (FSD). A P = 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
resultsThe age range of the study participants was 30-75 years with the mean age being 54.3 ± 9. The overall prevalence of SD in this study was 80.2%. The female sexual disorder was most common in the domain of arousal desire and orgasm, while male SD had the most difficulty in maintaining erection.
conclusionSD is a major reproductive health issue with a high prevalence among persons with diabetes. Type 2 diabetic women with FSD tend to have arousal desire and orgasm disorders nevertheless, it is beneficial to focus on the comprehensive sexual function of persons with diabetes.
