Effects of low-intensity shock wave therapy (LiST) on the erectile tissue of naturally aged rats.
Article in International journal of impotence research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Low-intensity shock wave therapy (LiST) improves erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), probably by promoting angiogenesis as suggested by studies on animals with comorbidities as disease associated ED models. We aim to investigate the effects of LiST on erectile tissue of healthy, naturally aged rats. Twelve naturally aged male rats were randomized into two groups: control group (n = 6) and LiST-treatment group (n = 6). Young rats (8 weeks) (n = 6) was also used as control. Each rat in treatment group received 300 shock waves with an energy flux density of 0.09 mJ/mm
