Comparative analysis of the sexual function of Nigerians with type 2 diabetes and apparently healthy controls.
Article in Ghana medical journal, 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
Objective: To assess the sexual functioning of Nigerians with T2DM in comparison to healthy controls. Design: Comparative descriptive cross-sectional survey. Setting: Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital. Participants: A Consecutive sample of 210 adult Nigerians with T2DM and 121 without diabetes. Main outcome measures: Sexual functioning was assessed with the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire. Results: Participants with diabetes had a higher prevalence of SD than those without diabetes (76.2% vs 34.7%). This remained unchanged when stratified by gender and sexual response cycles. Increasing age and female gender were significantly associated with SD among participants with diabetes. A one-year increase in age has 1.09 odds of increased SD among participants with diabetes (OR = 1.09, CI = 1.05 - 1.13), while the female participants demonstrated higher SD when compared with males, irrespective of diabetes status, [with diabetes (80.7% vs 65%) and without diabetes (60% vs 20.6%)]. They were also three times as likely to have SD as their male counterparts (OR = 3.39, CI = 1.59-7.24, p = 0.002). Conclusion: People with diabetes reported lower sexual functioning compared with those without diabetes, with a more than double the prevalence. Females had a higher prevalence of SD than males, irrespective of diabetes status, associated with age among participants with diabetes. Funding: None declared.
