Possible hemodynamic pathways of intraurethral prostaglandin-E1 (MUSE).
Trial report in International journal of impotence research, 2004. 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
Intraurethral application of prostaglandin-E1 (MUSE) is a well-tolerated pharmacotherapy for erectile dysfunction. However, the physiological mechanisms of drug transfer into the cavernous bodies are not completely clear. Using spongiosography in 35 patients, our study tried to elucidate existing shunt mechanisms. The X-rays show venous drainage through the deep dorsal vein up to the plexus Santorini. The circumflex veins are also contrasted and the cavernous bodies show opacification in their distal portion only. Structures shunting directly between the corpus spongiosum and the cavernous bodies were not demonstrable. Retrograde filling of the cavernous bodies through the deep dorsal vein and its circumflex braches seems to be the most relevant way of drug transfer after intraurethral application of prostaglandin-E1. Diffusion into the cavernous bodies or a systemic mechanism of action does not seem probable.
