Emerging concepts in erectile preservation following radical prostatectomy: a guide for clinicians.
Review in International journal of impotence research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a commonly performed procedure for the management of prostate cancer. While documented oncologic outcome for early stage disease is excellent, functional impairments such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction (ED) are common after the procedure. Recent evidence has implicated cavernous nerve damage and subsequent corporal oxygen deprivation, as well as corporal inflammation, in the pathogenesis of post-RP ED. Targeted therapies such as oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, mechanical vacuum erection devices, local alprostadil delivery and testosterone replacement (for hypogonal patients) have demonstrated some efficacy in the management of post-RP ED. This review aggregates much of the recent data in support of these therapies and critically reviews them. The article then presents tools to assess patients and partner sexual function to aid in identifying and monitoring post-RP ED. Finally, the article describes a protocol in use at Baylor College of Medicine as a guide toward the development of a protocol for erectile preservation (EP). The purpose of this work is to educate clinicians on emerging concepts in EP and provide an implementable protocol for use in practice.
