Prevalence of erectile dysfunction and its association with residual renal function in Chinese peritoneal dialysis patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe study was to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional survey. Eligible patients were interviewed by questionnaire: the five-item version of International Index of Erectile Function. Residual renal function (RRF) was assessed by daily urine volume and residual glomerular filtration rate.
resultsTotally, 176 male prevalent PD patients were interviewed, six of them were not included in analysis for sexually inactive unrelated to ED. The prevalence of ED was 80.6 %. After adjusting for confounding factors, advance age (P = 0.014), less daily urine volume (P = 0.032) and higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P = 0.043) were independent risk factors for the development of ED.
conclusionThe prevalence of ED was high in Chinese PD patients. Advanced age, poor RRF and higher hs-CRP were independently associated with the prevalence of ED.
