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

Prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) amounts to 20-30% in a general population and increases to 50-70% in cardiovascular high-risk patients. Association of ED with known cardiovascular risk factors is causal with endothelial function of penile vessels and corpora cavernosa playing a crucial role in physiology of erection. Moreover, severity of ED correlates with cardiovascular risk of patients and represents an early symptom of generalized atherosclerosis. Hence, cardiovascular risk factors and diseases are sooner diagnosed in patients with ED with the opportunity of risk-adjusted prevention. Furthermore, different trials suggest erectile function as a strong predictor of cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction or stroke.
