1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is common and affects women of all ages. Between 30% and 50% of sexually active women will encounter some type of FSD at some point in their life, highlighting its importance as a public health issue. FSD goes undiagnosed and untreated in many women owing to the stigma associated with sexual health, insufficient awareness and restricted access to specialized medical care. Over the past few decades, considerable progress in understanding FSD has resulted in the development of pharmacological therapies; the treatment of FSD should be evaluated through a biopsychosocial approach to determine whether to use medication, therapy or a mix of both methods. A number of non-hormonal pharmacological treatments for FSD are available, specifically to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder, female sexual arousal disorder, female orgasmic disorder and female genitopelvic pain disorders. Further work towards the development of future therapies will help to better support women with FSD.
