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

Background: No web-based interventions addressing sexual problems are available for young adult survivors of childhood cancer. Aim: This study aimed to test the efficacy of a web-based psychoeducational intervention, Fex-Can Sex, to alleviate sexual problems in young adults treated for cancer during childhood. Method: This randomized controlled trial tested the effects of a 12-week, self-help, web-based intervention. Young adults (aged 19-40) reporting sexual dysfunction were drawn from a population-based national cohort of childhood cancer survivors and randomized to either an intervention group (IG, Results: No effect of the intervention was found in the primary outcome. Regarding secondary outcomes, the IG reported less vaginal dryness (Lubrication subscale) than the CG at T1 ( Conclusion: The Fex-Can Sex intervention shows potential to improve sexual function, especially among those with greater dysfunction. To increase adherence and effect, we recommend the intervention to be further developed including more tailored content. Clinical trial registration: ISRCTN Registry, trial number: 33081791 (registered on November 27, 2019).
