Effect of mirabegron on erectile function in sexually active men with bothersome overactive bladder symptoms.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04420533 (Comparative Study Between Behavior Therapy and Behavior Therapy Plus Mirabegron 50mg in Sexually Active Men With Bothersome Overactive Bladder Symptoms - A Multicenter, Randomized Study), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the change of erectile function (EF) in sexually active male overactive bladder (OAB) patients treated with Mirabegron. Mirabegron, a selective β3 adrenoceptor agonist, approved for the treatment of OAB, has been reported to relax human and rat corpus cavernosum and might have beneficial effect on EF.
methodsA total of 128 consecutive men with lower urinary tract symptoms attended urology outpatient clinic were evaluated for OAB and EF. Thirty-four sexually active OAB patients were prospectively enrolled in this study and received mirabegron 50 mg oral once a day. The evaluation of EF and OAB was based on a self-administered questionnaire containing International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and OAB symptom score (OABSS), respectively. Men with an OABSS urgency score of ≥2 and sum score of ≥3 were considered to have OAB. The therapeutic outcomes were assessed at baseline, 4, and 12 weeks.
resultsMirabegron usage was associated with a statistically significant improvement of OAB symptoms (OABSS 32.1% decrease) at 4-week follow-up and the therapeutic effects were maintained at 12-week follow-up. Mirabegron usage did not improve EF (IIEF-5 4.9% decrease at 4-week; p = 0.106, and 9.1% decrease at 12-week follow-up; p = 0.077). However, the IIEF-5 was significantly decreased in the higher baseline IIEF-5 (≥17) group (11.7% decrease; p = 0.044), noncoronary artery disease (13.2%; p = 0.007), or non-DM group (13.9% decrease; p = 0.021) at 12-week follow-up.
conclusionThis preliminary study demonstrates that mirabegron treatment of men with OAB improved OAB symptoms, but has no beneficial effect on EF.
