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
backgroundSexual intercourse is integral part of physical well-being health especially in married couple's life. Unhappiness and life dissatisfaction can be positively influenced by sexual inactivity (SI). Sexual inactivity was defined as no sexual frequency among reproductive married women in the last month. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of sexual inactivity and its associated risk factors among Bangladeshi reproductive married women.
methodCross-sectional study design data from the most recent Bangladesh Health and Demographic Survey conducted in 2022 was utilized. The analysis included 14,650 reproductive heterosexual married women (RHMA). The associations between sexual inactivity and exposure variables were evaluated using Pearson's Chi-square test, and the prediction model considered the multivariable logistic regression.
resultsThe prevalence of sexual inactivity among RHMA in Bangladesh was 6.72% (95% CI 0.93-0.94). This study shows that in Bangladesh, reproductive heterosexual married women from the Dhaka region, Khulna region, and Sylhet region, who have a height below < 164 cm, who have a husband aged 30-40 years, are more likely to be sexually inactive. The odds of sexual inactivity were lower among RHMA who household heads were, who were aged ≥ 40 years, and whose husbands were unemployed. All these factors were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
conclusionWomen's age significantly affect sexual inactivity among the women in their reproductive age in Bangladesh. To overcome SI problem government and nongovernmental organization must take effective measures to improve women education level, reproductive health-care service, including sexual health of childbearing age.
