Correlation of Adiponectin With Testosterone in Patients With and Without Type 2 Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction.
Article in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of adiponectin in diabetic patients with and without erectile dysfunction (ED). In addition, the correlations of adiponectin with the scores of international index of erectile function (IIEF) and total testosterone levels were explored in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with ED. The study included three groups: Type 2 Diabetic patients (T2DM) with and without ED and a third nondiabetics with ED group, each of 29 patients. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FI), homeostasis model assessments of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index), testosterone and adiponectin levels were evaluated. IIEF was applied to diabetic and nondiabetic patients with ED. The results showed that adiponectin was lower in diabetic patients with ED than in both nondiabetics with ED and diabetics without ED groups (5.23 ± 1.05 vs. 11.38 ± 10.08 and 6.5 ± 2.13; p = .003 and .006 respectively). Testosterone was lower in diabetic patients with ED than in diabetics without ED group (2.52 ± 1.15 vs. 4.1 ± 1.46; p = .024). Testosterone had a direct correlation with adiponectin ( r = .371; p = .001). Both adiponectin and testosterone levels did not correlate with IIEF. In conclusion, the decreased adiponectin and testosterone are associated with ED in T2DM. Testosterone has a direct correlation with circulating adiponectin while both have no correlation with IIEF.
