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
Objective: This mixed-methods study utilized an exploratory sequential design to develop and evaluate a digital health intervention delivered via social media for sexual dysfunction following cervical cancer surgery. The intervention aimed to improve sexual function and promote health empowerment-conceptualized as the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy to manage one's health-thereby enhancing the overall sexual well-being of survivors. Methods: Implemented at a Chinese tertiary hospital, this study adopted an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design. We first conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 12 post-operative cervical cancer patients to investigate their sexual health experiences and unmet needs. Guided by these findings, a social media-based intervention was developed and delivered on WeChat, integrating three key elements: interactive multimedia education, a moderated peer support community, and specialist counseling. The efficacy of this digital intervention was then rigorously tested in a randomized controlled trial with 92 participants. Results: The qualitative interviews ( Conclusion: This digitally-enabled intervention bridges the principles of accessible public health communication with patient-centered care. By leveraging a widely-used social media platform, we delivered a holistic program that significantly enhanced sexual function, empowered patients, and mitigated stigma. This work establishes a practical, transferable solution for improving health literacy and quality of life among cancer survivors, demonstrating the potential to bridge service gaps in supportive care.
