1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of administering udenafil (5-[2-propyloxy-5-(1-methyl-2-pyrollidinylethylamidosulphonyl)phenyl]-1-methyl-3-propyl-1,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo(4,3-d)-pyrimidin-7-one) in patients with comorbid benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction (ED). One hundred and twenty patients who had been undergoing stable alpha-blocker therapy for BPH were enrolled in this trial and they were administered 100 mg udenafil for 8 weeks. Changes in blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), the international prostatic symptom score (IPSS) and the international index of ED (IIEF-5) were evaluated every 4 weeks. At end point, there was no significant change in BP and HR, whereas the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and ED improved significantly compared with baseline (IPSS 14.3-11.5, IIEF-5 11.95-18.32, P<0.05). Most patients were tolerant to the treatment and there was no evidence of additional side effects related to coadministration. The coadministration of udenafil and an alpha-blocker in patients with comorbid BPH and ED was safe and gave significant improvements in both LUTS and ED.
