High prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men with psoriasis: evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis 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. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common skin disease with the global prevalence of about 2%. Mounting evidence has emerged indicating that there was an association between psoriasis and increased susceptibility to erectile dysfunction (ED). We aimed to assess whether psoriasis was a risk factor for ED through a comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis. The MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for all studies investigating the erectile function in psoriatic patients. The association between psoriasis and risk of ED was summarized using the odds ratios (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The protocol for this meta-analysis is available from PROSPERO (CRD42018093025). Overall, 1829449 participants (the mean age ranged from 44 years to 56.3 years) were included from 8 studies (6 cross-sectional, 1 cohort, and 1 case-control study); 39490 of whom were patients with psoriasis, with the mean disease duration from 6 months to 19.9 years. The methodological quality of the 8 included studies was considered to be either moderate or high quality. Synthesis results from the included studies revealed that psoriasis was significantly associated with an increased risk of ED in psoriatic patients (OR = 1.62, 95%CI: 1.37-1.91, P < 0.001; heterogeneity: I
