Article in International journal of health sciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in Type 2 diabetic Saudi patients, to determine the effect of Type 2 diabetic on other sexual activities (intercourse satisfaction, orgasmic function, sexual desire, overall satisfaction), and to assess whether glycemic control and duration of diabetes have an influence on sexual activities or not.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 376 of Type 2 diabetic male Saudi patients. Erectile dysfunction and other sexual activities dysfunctions were evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) by a fill coded questionnaire. Additionally, the level of glycosylated hemoglobin was measured to classify the diabetes control status in patients.
resultsErectile Dysfunction was reported by 83% of male Saudi diabetic patients. The results show that there was a significant association between the presence of ED and both the age and the duration of diabetes. Family income, occupation, and educational level of the patients show a significant association between them and erectile dysfunction (ED). Moreover, glycemic control did not show a significant association with ED in our sample.
conclusionThe findings showed that prevalence of ED among male Saudi diabetic patients is high. It increases with age and duration of diabetes. Also, the study showed that the glycemic control did not correlate with ED. It is recommended that the family physician and diabetologist should ask routinely for this complication in patients with diabetes just like any other diabetes complication.
