Management options for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with or without erectile dysfunction: a focus on tadalafil and patient considerations.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction increase with age. Several studies have identified a true association between these two disorders. Basic research studies have shown a significant decrease in the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway with age that leads to decreased relaxation of the bladder wall and prostate and worsening LUTS. In this review article, we will focus on the potential use and clinical significance of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors in the treatment of LUTS secondary to benign prostate hyperplasia.
