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
backgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) causes major changes in physical, psychological, and social dimensions, and simultaneously leads to changes in sexual performance and decreases the quality of sex life of people with SCI. The present research aims to recognize the physical, psycho-emotional, and social challenges in having sexual intercourse by people with SCI. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe current qualitative study was conducted using the conventional content analysis method. The 25 participants were selected from June 2022 to May 2024 in Tehran, by purposeful and snowball sampling methods with maximum diversity from daily care centers, as well as referrals from friends, and were assessed through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman.
resultsThe analysis of participants' interviews culminated in identifying four categories of psycho-emotional challenges, physical challenges against genital health, inaccessibility to reliable sexual knowledge, social inhibitors, and thirteen subcategories.
conclusionsPrecise and timely recognition of physical, psycho-emotional, sexual, and social challenges culminates in developing comprehensive educational programs and protocols with the cooperation of the government and health policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and the active engagement of people with SCI. Thereby, the quality of the sex life of people with SCI will be improved, the family's attitude toward the sexual performance of these individuals will vary, and mutual sexual intimacy and pleasure will be created in sexual and marital relationships.
