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

Research suggests that addressing sexual difficulties and concerns may enhance sexual satisfaction and, in turn, improve sexual and relationship outcomes among partnered individuals. This study examined whether perceived quality of sexual communication indirectly links insecure attachment (i.e., anxious and avoidant attachment) to sexual satisfaction among college students. Further, this study assesses sexual satisfaction by measuring both participants' own sexual satisfaction (i.e., self-sexual satisfaction) as well as their satisfaction derived from their partner's sexual experiences (i.e., partner-derived sexual satisfaction). This assessment of sexual satisfaction is relatively new within the literature. Participants (
