[Female sexual function in breast cancer referred at the tertiary level].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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: Little is known about sexual function in patients with a previous breast cancer diagnosis. Treatments for breast cancer can cause structural and functional damage at different levels, affecting quality of life and emotional well-being of patients. This can produce pain, inhibition of sexual desire and difficulties in intimacy as a result of mastectomy, tumoral resection, radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Objective: To evaluate sexual function in females with breast cancer remission. Material and methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with breast cancer remission, attending consultation in the Oncology and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation departments during the period from August to October 2024, who underwent the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. Results: 129 patients were included. A high rate of sexual dysfunction was found 104 (80.6%) despite having a stable partner or being married. An adequate level of sexual function was observed in 14 (18.6%) of patients treated with radical mastectomy without reconstruction, while the highest scores were found in patients who underwent mastectomy and reconstruction. Conclusions: Most patients treated with mastectomy without reconstruction presented with sexual dysfunction. Patients treated with mastectomy and reconstruction exhibited adequate sexual function.
