Latent profile analysis and influencing factors of female sexual function in IVF-ET in china.
Article in PloS one, 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
objectiveTo investigate the current status of female sexual function in IVF-ET, analyze the potential differences in sexual function characteristics among different categories of IVF-ET women, and analyze their associated factors, in order to provide reference for the development of hypothesis-driven sexual dysfunction screening strategies.
methodFrom January to April 2024, a sexual function survey was conducted on 305 female patients who underwent IVF-ET assisted pregnancy at a tertiary hospital in Yunnan Province, China. A self-made general information questionnaire, female sexual function index, and the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used, and latent profile analysis was conducted on the patient's sexual function.
resultThe sexual function of 305 female IVF-ET patients can be divided into three categories: low sexual function group (21.0%), moderate sexual function group (40.9%), and good sexual function group (38.1%). IVF-ET women with younger age, higher education level, and psychological distress are more likely to be included in the moderate sexual function group; The probability of IVF-ET women residing in cities belonging to the group with good sexual function is high; The shorter the duration of infertility and the fewer pregnancies, the less likely it is to be included in the low sexual function group.
conclusionThere is heterogeneity in the sexual function of IVF-ET women, and these findings may help medical staff identify at-risk populations based on the associated factors of sexual function in different categories of patients, though prospective validation is needed.
