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
backgroundSexual self-care represents a critical dimension of a health-oriented lifestyle and is essential for promoting women's sexual health. This study aimed to examine the association between social health and sexual self-care among women visiting comprehensive health service centers affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
methodsIn this descriptive-analytical study, 312 women were selected via multistage cluster sampling. Data were collected using Keyes et al.'s (2004) Social Well-being Questionnaire and Yazdani et al.'s (2023) Sexual Self-Care Questionnaire, followed by correlation analyses in SPSS-27.
resultsNo significant correlation was observed between the overall scores of social health and sexual self-care (P = 0.77). However, specific dimensions of social health exhibited significant associations with sexual self-care: Social Actualization correlated positively with cancer and unwanted pregnancy prevention (P < 0.05), Social Cohesion with prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (P < 0.05), Social Acceptance with STI prevention (P < 0.01), and Social Participation with cancer prevention (P < 0.01).
conclusionThe findings underscore the influence of distinct social health dimensions on women's sexual self-care, particularly in mitigating risks related to cancer, STIs, and unintended pregnancy. These insights offer a foundation for integrated public health strategies and advocate for policy initiatives that incorporate social and health dimensions into sexual health promotion programs.
