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

Cancer treatment affects every area of a patient's life. Currently available cancer treatment methods not only increase the chances of survival, but also challenge patients to return to their pre-disease lifestyle. This means that a patient's functioning both during and after the disease consists not only of satisfaction in the spheres of family life and work life, but also sexual functioning. The primary objective of the presented study was to assess the sexual functioning of female patients, taking the type of treatment, quality of life domains and sociodemographic factors into account. The study was conducted on 70 women between the ages of 32 and 84 at the Department of Oncology and Radiotherapy of the University Clinical Center, and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gynecologic Oncology and Gynecologic Endocrinology in Gdansk, Poland in 2021. The results indicate that patients who experience less discomfort and have better ratings of their overall functioning also report better ratings of their sexual functioning, and are less likely to report irritating complaints. Women treated with radiation therapy report more difficulties in functioning than patients who did not receive this treatment.
