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

We evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of the coadministration of a PDE5 inhibitor and an α-adrenergic blocker in patients with both benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms (BPH-LUTS) and ED using mirodenafil 50 mg (Mvixx) once daily (OD) in patients already receiving stable α-blocker therapy. This study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label trial. We selected 147 patients undergoing stable (longer than 4 weeks) α-blocker therapy for BPH-LUTS as recipients of the additive mirodenafil 50 mg OD for 8 weeks. The coprimary measures were the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). The key secondary measures were peak flow rate (Qmax) and postvoiding residual (PVR) volume. Safety was assessed by evaluating cardiovascular parameters and the participant-reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). The additional administration of mirodenafil 50 mg OD significantly improved IPSS results (18.70-14.30 at 4 weeks and 18.70-13.72 at 8 weeks; P<0.001). The IIEF-5 score was improved at 8 weeks (10.94-16.16; P<0.001). There was no significant change in systolic blood pressure/diastolic blood pressure (124.8 mm Hg/78.6 mm Hg-122.0 mm Hg/79.6 mm Hg; P=0.638) and heart rates (78.8 per min to 80.2 per min; P=0.452). The most common TEAEs were hot flashes (10.9%) and headache (8.1%). The combination of mirodenafil with an α-blocker did not significantly improve PVR; however, Qmax was improved at 8 weeks (14.51-16.80 ml s(-1); P=0.026). Mirodenafil 50 mg OD in combination with an α-blocker appeared to have few adverse effects, to improve BPH-LUTS and restore sexual function.
