Make a comparison infographic: QoL impact by domain
Medical infographic comparing Quality of Life impact by domain in women with uterine fibroids. Clean, professional clinical style on a dark navy background. Show 6 QoL domains as a horizontal bar chart comparison with labeled scores (0-100 scale, higher = better QoL): Concern 63.2, Activities 62.9, Energy/Mood 61.5, Sexual Function 61.4, Control 58.7, Self-consciousness 58.3. Each bar should be color-coded differently (red, orange, teal, purple, blue, amber). Include a separate highlighted "Symptom Severity Score: 34.6" in a callout box (higher = worse symptoms, inverted scale). Add a bold title at top: "Uterine Fibroids: QoL Impact by Domain (UFS-QoL)". Include subtitle "Source: Sefogah et al., BMC Women's Health 2025 | n=163 women". Below the chart, add 3 key insight callouts: "83.4% reported moderate-to-severe QoL impact", "Self-consciousness & Control: lowest HR-QoL scores", "Energy/Mood & Sexual Function severely impaired". Modern medical infographic aesthetic with clear typography, data labels on each bar, and a legend.
