Rethinking sexual pleasure in research, health care and society.
Review in Nature reviews. Urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Sexual pleasure is a fundamental aspect of human sexuality and well-being, but it has often been overshadowed by the clinical focus on dysfunction and reproduction in sexual medicine, particularly in urology. The historical neglect of sexual pleasure, particularly in female and queer people, has been perpetuated by sociocultural and gender biases. However, advances in understanding and identification of research gaps help to illustrate the potential of multidisciplinary approaches that address the diverse experiences and needs of individuals across their lifespan. Integrating pleasure into research, clinical practice, sexuality education and public health initiatives has transformative potential to enhance individual well-being, intimate relationships and overall quality of life. A biopsychosocial view of the subject offers actionable strategies for redefining sexual medicine to embrace the complexity and universality of pleasure as a driver of sexual health and equity, demonstrating that it is time for a paradigm shift, positioning sexual pleasure as a vital component of sexual health.
