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

Sleep disturbance negatively affects sexual function. Sleep problem and sexual dysfunction are common in methadone-maintained patients; however, their association is understudied in this patient population.This study examined the association between sleep quality and sexual satisfaction in Chinese patients receiving methadone maintenance treatment (MMT).This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 480 MMT patients who had sex with their sex partners within 1 month before the survey were recruited from 3 MMT clinics in Wuhan, China. Sexual satisfaction was assessed with a single question, and sociodemographic and clinical data were collected with a standardized questionnaire. Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Multiple ordinary logistic regression was used to control for potential confounders that may bias the sleep-sexual satisfaction relationship.Sexual satisfaction scores were significantly higher in poor sleepers than normal sleepers (3.2 ± 0.9 vs. 2.8 ± 1.0, t = 4.297, P < .001). After controlling for potential confounders, results of the multiple regression analysis reveal that poor sleep quality was still significantly and independently associated with low sexual satisfaction (odd ratio = 1.58, P = .009).Poor sleep quality is significantly associated with low sexual satisfaction of methadone-maintained patients. Improving sleep quality might improve sexual satisfaction of patients receiving MMT.
