ReviewEndocrine
Intracavernous pharmacotherapy for erectile dysfunction.
Review in Endocrine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
With the advent of phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibition as oral therapy, intracavernous injection of vasoactive agents has been relegated to second-line therapy for most patients with erectile dysfunction. However, the future of this category of agents remains bright as an ever-expanding number and combination of agents in use and under investigation will likely make intracavernous injection more appealing as greater efficacy, tolerability, and more rapid onset is attained. In this article, functional anatomy and physiology of human penile erection is reviewed, as are current clinical vasoactive agents including prostaglandin E-1, papaverine, and phentolamine. Emerging therapies discussed include guanylate cyclase activators, potassium channel openers, nitric oxide donors, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide, selective alpha-1 receptor antagonists, and gene therapy. Ongoing research continues to define new roles for this effective and safe technique, which has withstood the test of time, restoring erectile function among patients with diverse ED etiologies and a variety of co-morbidities.
