Effects of Two Different Dosages of Sildenafil on Patients With Erectile Dysfunction.
Article in American journal of men's health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To investigate the effects of two different dosages of sildenafil on patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), a total of 3,674 patients with ED were recruited to answer questionnaires designed specifically for this study. There were 977 patients in the 50 mg group and there were 2,697 patients in the 100 mg group. Both 50 mg and 100 mg of sildenafil therapy increased the ED patients' average monthly frequency of sexual intercourse, improved erectile function state in self-assessment, and elevated sexual satisfaction and enjoyment. Despite a higher rate of concomitant diseases, patients in the higher dosage of sildenafil group had a better outcome in the average monthly frequency of sexual intercourse and sexual enjoyment compared with those in the lower dosage. Such a study might be helpful for health care providers to choose sildenafil dosage for patients with ED.
