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

The aim of this post-hoc pooled-data analysis was to evaluate the effects of once-daily tadalafil in men with mild or moderate ED and aged <50 or 50 years. Data from three randomized controlled trials were analyzed. Analysis of covariance models included a term for ED severity and age group. The three coprimary outcome measures in the base studies were changes from baseline to end point in the mean International Index of Erectile Function Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) domain score and the mean per-patient percentage successful vaginal penetration and intercourse attempts. Irrespective of baseline severity, once-daily tadalafil 5 mg for 12 weeks compared with placebo significantly increased the mean: (1) IIEF-EF by 6.8; (2) percent successful penetration attempts from 70.1 to 91.3%; and (3) percent successful intercourse attempts from 33.4 to 76.8% (each P<0.001). Treatment-by-age-group interaction P-values for all three coprimary efficacy end points exceeded 0.10, indicating that tadalafil treatment effects did not differ by age <50 vs 50 years. Tadalafil was generally well tolerated.
