Article in Revista brasileira de ginecologia e obstetricia : revista da Federacao Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetricia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Sexuality plays an important role in quality of life, and the postpartum period may negatively affect women's sexual function. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Sexual Quality of Life - Female (SQoL-F) for use for use in Brazilian women in the postpartum period. Methods: The original version of the SQoL-F was translated and back translated by four independent sworn translators. A sample of 125 women in the late postpartum phase participated in the cultural adaptation (n=30) and convergent validation (n=95) phases. For the latter, the instrument was compared with the Brazilian version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). To assess reproducibility, 25 of the 95 women who participated in the validation phase completed the SQoL-F twice, at different times (two interviewers administered the SQoL-F, 15 to 20 days apart). Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.905 (intraclass correlation=0.974; 95%CI: 0.943-0.988; p<0.001). Significant, moderate, positive correlations were observed between the SQoL-F score and the FSFI total score (r=0.572; p<0.001) and domains 'Desire' (r=0.502; p<0.001), 'Arousal' (r =0.576; p<0.001), and 'Satisfaction' (r=0.637; p<0.001). Excellent reproducibility was obtained for the SQoL-F score (intraclass correlation=0.974; 95%; CI: 0.943-0.988; p<0.001). Conclusion: The SQoL-F was adapted to the cultural context of Brazilian postpartum women, proved reproducible, and exhibited face, content, and construct validity.
