Validated questionnaires for assessing sexual dysfunction and BPH/LUTS: solidifying the common pathophysiologic link.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 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
Erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms (BPH/LUTS) share many epidemiologic and clinical similarities. First-line therapy for both conditions include oral medications (alpha blockers, phosphodiesterase inhibitors). The impetus to develop and use questionnaires to characterize these two conditions is based on the trend away from invasive diagnostic testing to the use of patient-reported outcomes or validated self-administered questionnaires. The International Prostate Symptom Score, the International Index of Erectile Function, the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) and the MSHQ short form are similar patient-reported assessment questionnaires used for research or clinical evaluation of BPH/LUTS, ED and ejaculatory dysfunction. These patient-based self-administered questionnaires are likely to assume an ever increasing important role in the future, as oral BPH therapies are considered for the treatment of ED and oral ED therapies are considered for the treatment of BPH/LUTS.
