Association of Urinary Phthalate Metabolites With Erectile Dysfunction in Racial and Ethnic Groups in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2004.

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
Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting compounds detectable in more than 75% of the U.S. population with differential distributions across racial and ethnic groups, and they have been linked with reduced levels of serum testosterone. This study aims to investigate the associations of phthalate metabolites with erectile dysfunction (ED) and to determine whether these associations vary by race/ethnicity among men in the United States. Analyzed data for 12 phthalate metabolites from 3,746 men (≥20 years old), who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2004 cross-sectional study, were included. Metabolites included MBP, MCHP, MEP, MEHP, MiNP, MBzP, MMP, MCPP, MEHHP, MEOHP, MiBP, and MECPP. Racial/ethnic groups included non-Hispanic Blacks ( n = 770), non-Hispanic Whites ( n = 2,147), and Mexican Americans ( n = 829). ED was assessed by a single question during a self-paced, computer-assisted self-interview. In racial/ethnic stratified analyses, there were higher MBP and MBzP concentrations that had a strong-dose response association with lower prevalence odds of ED among Mexican Americans, p
