[Is rehabilitation of erectile function following pelvic surgery reasonable? Review of the literature: from sports to PDE5 inhibitors].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2008. 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
Increasingly, urologists are seeing patients with erectile dysfunction after pelvic operations. In most cases, radical prostatectomy is the cause. Even when a nerve-sparing procedure is performed, approximately 50% of the patients suffer from erectile dysfunction. This report discusses the causes and theoretical therapies, including lifestyle changes, strategies for neuroregeneration and the associated prevention of apoptosis of the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum and improvement of the corpora cavernosa by increased oxygenation. According to the international literature, many of these agents and lifestyle modifications display promise for treating impotence. Early treatment for patients recovering from pelvic operations seems to be reasonable. It is assumed that the natural recovery of erections may take as long as 18 to 24 months postsurgery or even longer; however, treatment modalities may reduce the time to erectile recovery.
