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
Women with a stoma may experience negative effects on their sexual quality of life and well-being due to significant changes in body image and perceptions of beauty. This study aimed to investigate the effect of beauty perception on the sexual quality of life of female stoma patients. This descriptive, cross-sectional, and predictive study was conducted between December 2023 and December 2024 in the general surgery department of a tertiary hospital. The sample consisted of 82 women with a stoma selected using purposive sampling and data were collected through telephone interviews. Data collection tools included the Beauty Subjective Numerical Assessment, Body Type (Somatotype), Body Image Scale, and Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Women. The findings showed that women's perceptions of beauty decreased after surgery. Women who preferred mesomorphic body types reported higher body image levels compared to those who preferred endomorphic and ectomorphic body types. However, body type preferences did not have a significant effect on sexual quality of life. Postoperative beauty perception was found to be associated with both body image and sexual quality of life. Furthermore, body image emerged as an important predictor of sexual quality of life. In conclusion, stoma surgery negatively affects women's perceptions of beauty and contributes to declines in body image and sexual quality of life. Psychosocial support and interventions aimed at improving body image should be integrated into postoperative care.
