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

Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent disease, which origin frequently remains undetermined. Antihypertensive treatment (AHT) has been linked with erectile dysfunction (ED), mainly in middle-aged and older males. On the other side, some drugs used in AHT seem to be themselves associated with ED as a secondary effect. This led to the search of coadjuvant therapies for hypertensive patients with ED, considering that both illnesses cause high physical, psychological and economic burden. While the association between AHT and ED has been approached several times, the direct association between blood pressure and ED remains unclear. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the relationship between HT, AHT and ED specifically in males with age ≥40 years.
