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

Background: Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life that involves physical and mental changes. This study aimed at evaluating woman's sexual experience in pregnancy. Methods: Cross sectional study design. We collected data pertaining to pregnant women's sexual behaviour via a questionnaire from 171 healthy pregnant women. Responses were summarised and comparisons were made between trimesters of pregnancy and primigravidae and multigravidae. Results: We studied various aspects such as marriage related information, factors affecting sexual activity, frequency of sexual activity across trimesters, causes for abstinence of sexual activity in primigravidae and multigravidae. The majority of women perceived an overall decline in sexual desire progressively increasing in each trimester. None of the patients reported an increase in coital frequency. We determined that in 62 cases, the source of information regarding sexual activity during pregnancy was their partners. Conclusion: The authors encourage the provision of sexuality education to newlyweds and the resolution of sex-related concerns during pregnancy.
