Epinephrine is associated with both erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms.
Article in Fertility and sterility, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo determine whether patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) have a higher incidence of insulin resistance (IR) when compared with controls.
designProspective case-control study.
settingAcademic medical center. PATIENT(S): Twenty-nine nondiabetic men aged 18-66 years were enrolled. Of these, 28 completed the study: 17 had ED, and 11 did not. INTERVENTION(S): Validated ED questionnaires, examination, serum hormones evaluation, and oral glucose tolerance testing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Association of IR with ED. RESULT(S): The association between worsening degrees of both lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and ED was reaffirmed, as was a potential correlation between the two-epinephrine. There was a negative association between serum levels of epinephrine and scores on the 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction for ED (Spearman correlation coefficient = -0.38). On the other hand, men with ED were not more likely to have IR compared with controls. CONCLUSION(S): Epinephrine may be the common link between ED and LUTS.
