Improving the quality of sexual life in postmenopausal women: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
backgroundPostmenopausal women frequently encounter a range of physical, emotional, and relational challenges. One aspect that is frequently overlooked is the impact of menopause on sexual life. The objective of this study was to elucidate solutions to enhance the quality of sexual life of postmenopausal women.
methodsThis qualitative conventional content analysis study was conducted from December 2022 to August 2023 in Qazvin, Iran. Using purposive sampling with maximum variation, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 21 participants, comprising 15 postmenopausal women and 6 experts, for a period of 3 months.
resultsFrom the interviews, a total of 495 initial codes were identified and subsequently organized into 39 subcategories and 11 categories. This rigorous coding process led to the extraction of three themes: "Understanding and managing influencing factors", "Raising awareness and a new perspective on sexual relationships", and "Accepting and managing postmenopausal changes".
conclusionBy identifying the key themes that emerged from this study, we can gain a deeper understanding of the promotion of healthy and positive sexual relationships, as well as the development of strategies for addressing the challenges and complexities that arise in these relationships. The findings can serve as a basis for the implementation of interventions and the planning of initiatives aimed at the promotion of the quality of sexual life of postmenopausal women.
