Erectile dysfunction as a complication of heart failure.
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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) is an increasingly common problem in the aging population and has been associated with chronic heart failure (HF), either as an epiphenomenon or even as an early marker for underlying cardiovascular disease. ED has a significant effect on patients' quality of life. This chapter reviews ED in patients with HF and prevention and treatment based on current data from the literature. Causes include physiologic changes resulting in decreased cardiac function and exercise capacity, intrinsic vascular and neurohormonal abnormalities, and extrinsic factors such as medication side effects and psychological issues. Physicians should address these issues with patients and begin treatment by optimizing HF management and minimizing medications with ED side effects. Use of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors provides significant improvement of ED and quality of life. Further research still is needed regarding long-term effects of ED treatment, investigation of newer medications, and preventive measures in this patient population.
