1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo better understand the complexity of sexual dysfunction, we aim to construct multi-factorial explanatory models of sexual dysfunction using data from participants enrolled in the Danish cross-sectional Study of latE effects for those liviNg through cErvical CAncer (SENECA).

methodsIn a nationwide survey, patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were collected from 2002 cervical cancer survivors treated with surgery and/or radio(chemo)therapy between 2005-2020 and a reference cohort consisting of 7853 women without a history of cancer. PROs in the EORTC C30/CX24 questionnaires were analysed. Bayesian Network models were developed for sexual activity and dyspareunia in reference and cancer survivor cohorts, resulting in four explanatory models. The reference cohort served as a structural prior for the cancer models. Sexual activity models included participants with complete data (6706 reference, 1694 cancer), while dyspareunia models included those reporting sexual activity in the past four weeks (4521 reference, 996 cancer).

resultsRespondents were stratified by treatment received: (1) reference group (

conclusionsSexual inactivity and dyspareunia were more common in cervical cancer patients, particularly in those treated with RCT compared with the reference cohort. Differences in explanatory factors between cancer and reference cohorts highlight the need for cancer-specific approaches to sexual rehabilitation.
