The impact of solid organ transplantation on sexual dysfunction and infertility in older men and women: A Claims Based Study.

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
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) restores organ function and prolongs survival, but its impact on sexual dysfunction and infertility is underexplored. This study evaluated changes in their prevalence before and after transplantation across organ types. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using TriNetX, including 64 932 U.S. adults (≥18 years) who underwent heart, kidney, liver, lung, or pancreas transplants within the past 20 years. Sexual dysfunction (e.g., erectile dysfunction, dyspareunia) and infertility were identified using ICD-10 codes. Pre-post analysis assessed relative and absolute risk reduction (ARR). Analyses were stratified by sex and organ type. SOT was associated with reduced sexual dysfunction (ARR 1.40%, p < 0.001) and infertility (ARR 0.10%, p = 0.013). Males experienced a greater reduction in sexual dysfunction (ARR 2.11%, p < 0.001) than females (ARR 0.20%, p = 0.035). Sexual dysfunction declined following heart (ARR 2.21%, p = 0.001), kidney (ARR 1.42%, p < 0.001), lung (ARR 1.24%, p = 0.042), and liver (ARR 0.74%, p = 0.003) transplants. No difference was seen following pancreas transplantation, and infertility prevalence did not differ across SOT types. These findings suggest SOT may improve sexual health, particularly in men, though effects on infertility remain limited.
