Sexual dysfunction in women with migraines: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Archives of women's mental health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe goal of this systematic review is to establish the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among women with migraines. Secondarily, this review explores factors contributing to the relationship between sexual dysfunction and migraine in women.
methodsA thorough search of PubMed from inception to June 17, 2024 was completed. Search terms included migraine related terms and sexual dysfunction outcome related terms. Two independent reviewers assessed articles for relevance and extracted information from selected articles.
resultsIn this review, a thorough search of the MEDLINE and CINAHL databases yielded 16 studies with 1,715 participants. The results demonstrated prevalence rates of sexual dysfunction in female migraine patients between 22.6% and 90%. There was a pooled prevalence of 69% (95% CI 61-77%) with substantial between-study heterogeneity (I
conclusionMigraines are associated with profound impacts on health-related quality of life. Sexual dysfunction is commonly associated with migraine in female patients, indicating that clinicians should routinely screen for sexual dysfunction in this population. Anxiety and depression may play a significant role in female sexual dysfunction in migraine.
