Risk factors of erectile dysfunction among diabetes patients in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of clinical & translational endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundErectile dysfunction in men is a common underestimated complication of diabetes mellitus, which is becoming a significant public health problem both in developing and developed countries. Erectile dysfunction threatens the well-being of clients, hence determining its risk factors and controlling it at an early stage is vital to preventing serious consequences and the burden of the disease. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically evaluate erectile dysfunction risk factors in patients with diabetes mellitus in Africa.
methodsPubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, African Journals Online, Wiley Online Library and Google Scholar were searched and complemented by manual searches. Egger's regression test was used to determine publication bias. The I
resultOverall, 17 studies with 6002 study participants were included to identify risk factors of erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients. Duration of diabetes mellitus >10 years (AOR = 2.63; 95% CI 1.27, 5.43), age >40 years (AOR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.51), peripheral neuropathy (AOR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.51, 10.72), no physical exercise (AOR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.49, 1.78), testosterone level <8 nmol/l (AOR = 2.83; 95% CI: 1.06, 12.86), and peripheral vascular disease (AOR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.54-5.27) were significantly associated with erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients.
conclusionsThis study found that long duration of diabetes mellitus, age >40 years, testosterone deficiency, peripheral neuropathy, not involved in physical exercise, peripheral vascular disease, were significantly associated with increased risk of erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients Therefore, situation-based interventions and country context-specific preventive strategies should be developed to decrease the risk factors of erectile dysfunction among patients with diabetes mellitus.
