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
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence and associated factors of inappropriate sexual behaviour (ISB) in psychogeriatric inpatients in a Chinese psychiatric hospital.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2021 among 174 psychiatric inpatients aged 60 years and older at a psychiatric hospital in Huzhou, China. ISB was assessed using the St. Andrews Sexual Behaviour Assessment (SASBA), a structured tool that categorizes behaviors into four domains: verbal, non-contact, exposure, and physical contact. Sociodemographic data, clinical characteristics, activities of daily living (ADL), and serum hormone levels (testosterone, estradiol, progesterone) were collected. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with ISB.
resultsAmong the 178 patients, 54 (30.3%) exhibited inappropriate sexual behavior. The prevalence was higher in male patients (38.2%) than in female patients (19.7%, p = 0.013). Patients exhibiting ISB were younger (67.1 ± 5.4 years, p = 0.028), had a longer length of hospitalization (42.5 (7.9, 79.5) months, p = 0.003), and lower progesterone levels (0.10 (0.10, 0.28) nmol/L, p = 0.012).
conclusionInappropriate sexual behavior is prevalent among psychogeriatric inpatients. It is associated with factors including gender, age, hospitalization length, and hormonal levels, especially progesterone.
