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

Objectives: This study examined the period prevalence and association of a range of biopsychosocial factors with sexual dysfunction in self-identified females attending clinics in Gauteng, South Africa, during 2013-2023. Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 1595 patient records were analyzed. Prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) (using the Female Sexual Function Index) and associations were estimated using logistic regression analysis. Results: Prevalence of FSD was 84.17% ( Conclusion: Findings suggest that indicated factors may be related to higher odds of FSD or may be protective. FSD should be further researched through longitudinal designs to inform interventions.
