1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction (ED) is common in patients with end stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Prevalence and determinants of ED in these patients has not been well characterized. PATIENTS AND

methodsPrevalence of ED in 44 patients on chronic PD was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) commonly called Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score. The associations between ED and other medical conditions was also assessed.

resultsPrevalence of ED was high at 88%. Mean age of all patients was 61.8 +/- 13.9 years. Thirty-two patients were hypertensive, 19 of them had coronary artery disease and 13 patients were diabetics. All patients with diabetes had ED. Age and diabetes were found to be significantly associated with ED.

conclusionED is highly prevalent in patients on chronic PD. Increasing age and diabetes were associated with higher percentage of ED.
