Treating erectile dysfunction in renal transplant recipients.
Review in Drugs, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Erectile dysfunction is common in male kidney transplant recipients. Interference with the physiology of erections can be attributed to recipient co-morbidities, the renal transplant operation, medication adverse effects, relationship problems and changes in mental health. A treatment-oriented evaluation of erectile dysfunction allows the development of treatment plans that are patient-specific. Hypo-gonadal men whose hormone parameters do not improve after renal transplantation may respond to testosterone replacement therapy. Use of recommended doses of the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil does not significantly modify trough concentrations of the calcineurin inhibitors ciclosporin and tacrolimus or result in impaired renal allograft function. Tacrolimus has been shown to increase the peak concentration and prolong the elimination half-life of sildenafil in kidney transplant recipients. Daily administration of sildenafil has resulted in decreased blood pressure in kidney transplant recipients with treated hypertension and tacrolimus immunosuppression. Intracavernosal injections of alprostadil, with or without papaverine and phentolamine, are effective treatments for erectile dysfunction after renal transplantation and have not resulted in alterations of ciclosporin concentrations or in deterioration of renal function. Penile prostheses can be successfully implanted after pelvic organ transplantation without significant risk of infection.
