Trends in erectile dysfunction research from 2008 to 2018: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in International journal of impotence research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
Insufficient penile erection to facilitate vaginal penetration is a medical condition referred to as erectile dysfunction (ED). By the year 2025, the number of ED cases across the world is expected to reach 322 million. There are numerous publications and studies in the field of ED over the past decades. Our aim is to comprehensively analyze the global scientific outputs of ED research and show the trends and hotspots in ED research. Data of publications were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used CiteSpace IV and Excel 2016 to analyze literature information, including journals, countries/regions, institutes, authors, citation reports, and research frontiers. Until October 26, 2018, a total of 8880 papers in ED research were identified as published between 2008 and 2018. Journal of Sexual Medicine published the most articles. The United States contributed the most publications and occupied leading positions in H-index value and the number of ESI top papers. Maggi M owned the highest co-citations. The keyword "Oxidative stress" ranked first in the research front-line. The amount of articles published in ED research has been stable from 2008 to 2018. The United States showed enormous progress in ED research, and is still the dominant country. Oxidative stress, vardenafil, and late-onset hypogonadism were the latest research frontiers and should be paid more attention.
