Anoreceptive Sexual Intercourse and Fecal Incontinence: A Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. 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
introduction and hypothesisAnoreceptive sexual intercourse (ASI) is a common sexual practice, yet its relationship with bowel continence remains insufficiently characterized. Evidence evaluating patient-reported continence outcomes and behavioral context is limited. The objective was to evaluate the association between ASI and self-reported fecal incontinence (FI), and to assess its relationship with continence-related quality of life and specific ASI-related practices.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analytical study using an anonymous online survey distributed to a self-selected adult cohort through social media (N = 1018). FI severity was assessed using the Jorge-Wexner Score (JWS), and quality of life with the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (FIQLS). Associations were adjusted using multivariable logistic regression for age, sex, obstetric history, and comorbidities.
resultsThe prevalence of ASI was 77.8%. Self-reported FI was more frequent among participants reporting ASI than among those who did not (13.4% vs 7.1%, p = 0.01); however, this association did not remain statistically significant after multivariable adjustment (p = 0.063). No differences were observed in JWS severity scores or FIQLS domains between the groups analyzed. FI was not associated with ASI frequency, higher-intensity practices, or preparatory behaviors.
conclusionsAnoreceptive sexual intercourse was not independently associated with FI or impaired continence-related quality of life after adjustment for confounders, although the primary association approached statistical significance. Within this self-selected cohort, ASI alone may not represent a major determinant of continence impairment. Prospective studies with objective functional assessment are warranted.
