Trial report in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundStudies to date on the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) report varying results. The present study investigates the frequency and degree of ED, its determining factors as well as the help-seeking behavior of the patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA random sample of 628 Swiss men (mean age: 61.5 years) were examined by questionnaire regarding their sexual functioning, comorbidity, and help-seeking behavior.
resultsOf the respondents, 9.6% reported complete, 18.0% moderate, and 41.4% minimal ED. All grades of the disorder increased with age and correlated with somatic and psychiatric comorbidity as well as with drug intake. Only 3.2% reported having used drugs for improvement of erectile functioning.
conclusionOnly a small number of men suffering from ED seek the help of a doctor. Considering the efficacy of PDE5 inhibitors, objective information and competent medical counseling of ED patients are indicated.
