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
Data on erectile dysfunction (ED) in Nigeria are limited. The study determined the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on ED prevalence in Ilorin, Nigeria. A sample of 399 married men aged 20-70 years was taken. They responded to a questionnaire adapted to reflect the local cultures. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, current use of penile erectile enhancers and erectile function were obtained. Erectile function was assessed using the abridged five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Presence of ED was defined as IIEF-5 score of <21. Descriptive and test statistics were applied to the quantitative data. The results revealed ED prevalence of 46.9% with 34.3, 9.8 and 2.8% having mild, moderate and severe ED, respectively. Men aged 40-64 years, reported severe ED from 9.1 to 36.4%. Yoruba ethnic group had the highest ED prevalence. Of the variables, age, length of marriage and spousal status were significantly associated and correlated with ED (P<0.05), while ethnicity, religion and age at first marriage were not (P>0.05). With an aging population, ED may become a significant health problem in similar environments in Nigeria.
