1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that is usually diagnosed in young individuals. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the 2 principal forms of IBD. Patients with IBD demonstrate varying degrees of disease activity and sometimes need to undergo bowel surgery such as proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis that involves removal of the entire colon and rectum with consequent sexual dysfunction. Several studies have shown that sulfasalazine, affects male fertility. Additionally, many men with IBD are unable to control their smoking, drinking, and eating habits, which can cause worsening of disease activity and fertility. Therefore, infertility and sexual dysfunction are important issues in young patients diagnosed with IBD because they are related to optimal management of the disease and patients' quality of life. Only a few studies have reported sexual dysfunction and infertility in men with IBD. Therefore, this study reviewed the current literature describing male sexual dysfunction scales and evaluated the causes of sexual dysfunction and infertility in men with IBD.
