Etiological Differences in Chronic Low Back Pain Matter for Women's Sexual Health and Well-Being: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Aims: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common and disabling condition that can negatively affect sexual health. Although CLBP is classified as specific or non-specific based on underlying pathology, whether these etiologies differentially influence women's sexual function and sexual quality of life remains unclear. This study compared these outcomes between women with specific and non-specific CLBP. Methods: In this comparative cross-sectional study (2024, Rasoul Akram Hospital, Tehran), 102 married women aged 15-49 years with CLBP were enrolled (51 specific, 51 non-specific). Data were collected using validated Persian versions of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) questionnaire. Group comparisons were performed using independent Results: Mean (SD) FSFI scores were 23.97 (3.01) in the specific CLBP group and 23.72 (4.14) in the non-specific group (mean difference: 0.25, 95% CI: -1.17 to 1.67; Conclusion: No meaningful differences were observed between CLBP etiologies; however, low scores in both groups highlight the need to integrate sexual health into multidisciplinary CLBP care.
