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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the relationships between early maladaptive schemas, vaginal penetration-related cognitions, and sexual functioning in women diagnosed with Genito- Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder (GPPPD), compared with a control group.
methodThis cross-sectional, multicenter study included 100 women diagnosed with GPPPD and 120 volunteer women in whom no sexual dysfunction was detected. Participants completed the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5), the Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form-3 (YSQ-SF3), the Vaginal Penetration Cognitions Questionnaire (VPCQ), and the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). Group differences were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, associations were assessed with Spearman correlation analysis, and a multivariable logistic regression analysis was also performed.
resultsCompared with the control group, women diagnosed with GPPPD had significantly higher levels of negative vaginal penetration cognitions and early maladaptive schemas, particularly pessimism, approval-seeking, defectiveness, punitiveness, vulnerability to harm, and unrelenting standards (p<0.001). In addition, genital incompatibility cognitions were associated with pessimism and self-sacrifice schemas, whereas catastrophic and pain-related cognitions were associated with the approval-seeking schema. In the logistic regression analysis, unemployment, higher age at marriage, catastrophic and pain-related cognitions, and genital incompatibility cognitions were independently associated with the presence of GPPPD.
conclusionWomen diagnosed with GPPPD were found to have more negative sexual cognitions and more pronounced maladaptive schema patterns. The findings suggest that evaluating negative penetrationrelated cognitions together with early maladaptive schemas may be clinically useful in GPPPD.
