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 study aimed to investigate the effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) surgery on Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and menstrual functions. Methods: A total of 494 sexually active women attempting OMU Faculty of Medicine and diagnosed with obesity and underwent with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy before and after the surgery between 17.02.2015 and 10.03.2025 were included in the study. Results: FSFI before operation was significantly and negatively correlated with age (r=-0.443; p<0.01) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (r=-0.675; p<0.01). FSFI after operation was significantly and negatively correlated with age (r=-0.383; p<0.01), menstrual cycle (r=-0.202; p<0.05) and VAS (r=-0.661; p<0.01). FSFI before and after operation were not significantly correlated with BMI and comorbidity (p>0.05). Age (OR=-0.083; p<0.01) and VAS (OR=-0.410; p<0.01) had significant and negative effect on FSFI before operation. Similarly, age (OR=-0.092; p<0.01) and VAS (OR=-0.439; p<0.01) had significant and negative effect on FSFI after operation. Conclusion: Menstrual cycle change after LSG also had a decreasing effect on FSFI level after obesity. Therefore, treatment support can be given to women in terms of menstrual cycle in order to increase their sexual quality of life after LSG. Multidisciplinary studies of bariatric surgeon and gynecologist are needed in this regard.
