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: Hysterectomy may lead to psychological and sexual challenges that extend beyond physical recovery. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of psychosexual counseling based on the Schover bio-psycho-social model on sexual self-concept (primary outcome) and sexual distress among women after hysterectomy. Methods: In this parallel randomized controlled trial, 100 married women aged 18-49 years who had undergone total or subtotal hysterectomy for benign conditions were randomly assigned (1:1) to an intervention group receiving four weekly 90-min group counseling sessions based on the Schover model or to a control group receiving routine postoperative care. Sexual self-concept (MSSQ-SF) and sexual distress (FSDS-R) were assessed at baseline and 1-month post-intervention. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted for baseline scores was performed (SPSS v22; Results: After adjustment, significant between-group differences were observed. The intervention group showed higher adjusted mean sexual self-concept scores compared with controls (51.3 vs. 44.0), Conclusion: Psychosexual counseling grounded in the Schover bio-psycho-social model significantly improved sexual self-concept and reduced sexual distress among women after hysterectomy. Incorporating structured psychosexual counseling into postoperative care may support sexual rehabilitation in this population.
