Sexual dysfunction during the late postpartum period: prevalence and associated factors.

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
Background: Addressing women's sexuality during the perinatal period receives little attention in research, and few studies are available. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the factors that influence the development of sexual dysfunction in the late postpartum period. Objective: Determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women during the late postpartum period and the factors associated with it. Method: A observational study was conducted with women who had given birth in Spain in 2024. Information was collected on sociodemographic variables, personal history, and sexual function. Mean differences (MD), adjusted mean differences (aMD), odds ratios (OR), and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated, as appropriate. All analyses were performed using the statistical program SPSS 29.0. Results: A total of 341 women participated. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction (FSFI scores <26.5) was 64.5%. The woman's age (aOR: 1.10; 95%CI: 1.03-1.18), breastfeeding between 3 and 6 months postpartum (aOR: 3.34; 95%CI: 1.72-6.50), quality of life (SF-12) (aOR: 0.97; 95%CI: 0.95-0.99), and the WAST (aOR: 1.48; 95%CI: -1.13-1.93) are factors that influence the development of sexual dysfunction in the late postpartum period. Conclusion: The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the medium term after childbirth is high. Younger age, non-breastfeeding status, good quality of life, and intimate partner relationships without violence are less likely to develop sexual dysfunction and have better sexual function.
