Physician perspectives on discussions around the sexual health and function of gynecologic cancer patients.

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
Objectives: The primary study objective was to determine the proportion of oncology physicians treating gynecologic oncology patients screening for sexual health concerns among patients with gynecologic malignancies. The secondary objective was to describe these physicians' perspectives on their role in evaluating sexual health concerns and barriers to managing sexual health in a gynecologic oncology office, by training level and gender. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative, 23-item survey based on a previously validated questionnaire. It was administered across the United States to physicians (attendings and fellows) treating gynecologic oncology patients using the Society of Gynecologic Oncology database. Results: There was a 10.2 % response rate with 166/1621 physicians completing the survey. Thirty-four (23.1 %) were fellow trainees and 113 (77.0 %) were attendings. Most participants were gynecologic oncologists (155/166, 93.4 %), with radiation oncologists (1/166, 0.6 %), and other physicians (10/166, 6.0 %) also responding. The majority (137/166, 82.0 %) identified as female providers and (29/166, 17.4 %) identified as male. Just over half (99/166, 59.6 %) of providers routinely asked about sexual health concerns of their patients. Attendings more often discussed sexual health with patients when compared to fellows when controlling for academic setting and gender (OR 2.8, 95 % CI 1.6-4.1, p < 0.01). Most providers (117/166, 70.5 %) felt they needed to improve their knowledge on sexual function. Conclusions: Of the limited
