Erectile dysfunction among hemodialysis patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveErectile dysfunction (ED) is a distressing problem in hemodialysis patients. A combination of organic and psychological factors has been reported to take part in the pathophysiology of this condition. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among hemodialysis patients.
methodsFrom November 2008 to January 2009, a total of 59 male patients who underwent hemodialysis therapy in Jahrom and Fasa medical centers in Iran were entered the study. We explained to them each of the questions of the questionnaire and asked them to complete the IIEF questionnaire. We used the IIEF to determine the sexual problems and the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in male hemodialysis patients. We used translated (Persian) version of the IIEF questionnaire, which had been modified according to validation tests. Chi square test (Monte Carlo test) was used for analyzing the data. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
resultThe mean age of hemodialysis patients was 54.73 ± 14.08 years (23-78), and the duration of hemodialysis was 16.03 ± 15.66 months. By means of the IIEF, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction(ED) of any degree was 86.6%. The prevalence and the severity of ED showed significant increase as the age increased (P < 0.05).
conclusionErectile dysfunction is highly prevalent in hemodialysis patients. The prevalence and the severity of ED increase with age. Evaluations and efficient therapy for ED should be included in routine assessment of hemodialysis patients.
