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
Background: Chronic use of alcohol is usually associated with poor sexual functioning. Sexual dysfunction is often associated with disharmony in relationships, which ultimately leads to an increase in alcohol consumption. Aim: This study aimed to find out about various aspects of sexual dysfunction related to alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS). Material and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among married males and living with their families and admitted to a tertiary care center. The patients consuming alcohol were assessed using psychometric tools, including the alcohol use disorders identification test, the severity of alcohol dependence questionnaire, and the international index of erectile function. Data from 234 male patients were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The study found a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction among the participants. Specifically, 41.5% of patients reported decreased sexual desire, 40.6% experienced a loss of overall satisfaction, and 38.9% suffered from erectile dysfunction. Patients with ADS showed significantly higher levels of dysfunction in orgasmic function, sexual desire, erectile function, and overall satisfaction compared to those without ADS. However, there was no significant difference in terms of intercourse satisfaction between the two groups. Longer durations of alcohol use were associated with a greater degree of sexual dysfunction across all domains of sexual functioning. Conclusion: The study highlights the significant association between alcohol dependence syndrome and sexual dysfunction. Routine assessment and intervention for sexual health issues should be integral to the management of alcohol dependence.
