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: To accurately assess women's sexual health, psychometrically sound and culturally adapted instruments must be used. Although the Sexual Health Outcomes in Women Questionnaire (SHOW-Q) is widely used among Western populations, a validated Persian version has yet to be developed. This study aimed to translate the SHOW-Q into Persian and evaluate its psychometric properties among Iranian women with pelvic disorders. Methods: A cross-sectional methodological study was conducted from February to November 2024. The SHOW-Q was translated into Persian using the standard forward-backward method. A total of 416 women diagnosed with pelvic disorders completed the Persian version of the questionnaire. The psychometric evaluation included face and content validity (qualitative and quantitative), as well as construct validity via exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent and discriminant validity. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were also assessed. Results: The Persian SHOW-Q comprises 13 items, and factor analysis supports a three-factor structure considering the physical and psychological influences on sexual function, satisfaction, and experience. Model fit indices were satisfactory. Cronbach's alpha ( Conclusion: The Persian version of the SHOW-Q demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used to reliably and validly evaluate sexual health outcomes among Iranian women with pelvic disorders.
