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

Erectile dysfunction is a common problem after radical prostatectomy, with almost all men experiencing this complication for at least a short period after such surgery. There is evidence that early use of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, intracavernous vasoactive drugs, intraurethral alprostadil or vacuum devices can improve the recovery of postoperative erectile function. The same therapeutic modalities can be used to treat erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy. Physicians must be active and counsel patients and partners to improve adherence to penile rehabilitation or erectile dysfunction treatment.
