Prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction among Infertile Women Attending Gynaecology Outpatient Clinic in a Tertiary Hospital in Northwest Nigeria.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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: Infertility adversely affects sexual well-being, but the prevalence and correlates of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among infertile women in northwest Nigeria remain understudied. This study assessed FSD prevalence and associated factors in women attending gynaecology outpatient clinics of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study of 194 sexually active women with infertility recruited by systematic sampling from the ABUTH gynaecology outpatient clinics between January and May 2021. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and the 19-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), which was translated into Hausa for non-literate respondents. FSD was defined by FSFI scores ≤26.55. Associations were tested with χ Results: The overall prevalence of FSD (FSFI ≤26.55) was 56.7% (110/194). Hypoactive sexual desire disorder was the most common.The significant independent predictors of FSD werepremarital sexual abuse (aOR = 5.77, p = 0.036), male-factor infertility (aOR = 4.94, p = 0.006), and spousal erectile dysfunction (aOR = 9.05, p = <0.001). Conclusion: Over half of infertile women at ABUTH reported sexual dysfunction, mainly low desire. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating routine psychosexual screening and counseling into infertility care to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
