1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPostpartum sexual satisfaction is influenced by a variety of factors, including physiological changes, hormonal fluctuations, and psychological adaptation. The BASNEF model is widely recognized as a practical framework for promoting behavioral change globally. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of BASNEF model–based education on sexual satisfaction among primiparous women in the postpartum period.

methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 60 eligible postpartum women, between 40 days and 6 months after delivery, attending health centers in Darreh Shahr (western Iran), and scoring between 17 and 67 on the Lindaberg sexual satisfaction questionnaire, were randomly selected. Participants were then assigned to either the experimental group (n = 30) or the control group (n = 30). The experimental group received three 90-minute weekly group training sessions based on the BASNEF model, in addition to routine care, while the control group received routine care only. Data were collected at baseline, 1 month, and 2 months post-intervention using a demographic questionnaire, Lindaberg’s sexual satisfaction scale, and a validated researcher-developed BASNEF sexual satisfaction questionnaire. Data collection took place from January to June 2019. Participants, investigators, and analysts were not blinded. All analyses were conducted using SPSS version 25, with significance set at p < 0.05.

resultsAt baseline, there were no significant differences in sexual satisfaction scores between the groups. Following the intervention, the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in sexual satisfaction compared with the control group (p ≤ 0.001), and this improvement persisted at the 2-month follow-up (p ≤ 0.001).

conclusionBASNEF model–based educational intervention effectively enhanced postpartum sexual satisfaction among primiparous women. These findings support the use of structured, theory-based education to improve sexual health outcomes during the postpartum period.
