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
Research on sexual anxiety has primarily focused on sexual performance anxiety among White male samples. A more in-depth investigation of the multiple causes of sexual anxiety needs to be explored to expand the focus beyond sexual performance and account for various sociocultural factors that may increase the risk of sexual anxiety among marginalized groups. The purpose of this study was to explore the precedents of sexual anxiety among n=184 Black cisgender women living in the Southern United States. Participants were recruited in 2020 to complete an online Qualtrics survey and answer the open-ended question, "What makes you feel anxious during sexual experiences?". Only those who reported that they experienced sexual anxiety in their lifetime were asked this question. Data was analyzed using an inductive structural tabular thematic analysis approach. There were a total of 10 themes: 1) pressure to meet societal expectations, 2) psychological barriers, 3) partner unfamiliarity, 4) oppressive body standards, 5) sexual violence, 6) anticipation, 7) relationship factors, 8) general insecurities and judgment, 9) cultural factors and 10) fear of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Implications for therapists and counselors are discussed.
