Prevalence of erectile dysfunction and associated factors among males visiting family medicine clinics in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe burden of erectile dysfunction (ED) among the developed countries is found to be quite high. However, there is a paucity of data among developing countries to know its actual burden and factors associated with it.
methodsThe current study is cross-sectional and was conducted in Family Medicine clinics of Liaquat National Hospital during May 2017-January 2018. A total of 450 males participated in this study with the age range of 24-77 years. More than half of the participants were graduates or above.
resultsOn multivariable analysis, age (aOR = 5.47, 95% CI: 2.74-10.89), alcohol use (aOR = 5.23, 95% CI: 1.45-18.84), diabetes (aOR = 6.61, 95% CI: 3.27-13.36), and current smoking (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.35-4.31) were significantly associated with ED. ED risk was significantly lower in those who either attended secondary school (aOR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13-0.88) or were at least graduates (aOR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.17-0.96) than illiterate when model was adjusted for other covariates.
conclusionErectile dysfunction in a Pakistani male population highlights the need for routine screening at the primary care level. There is a possibility that the actual burden is underreported due to cultural stigmatization; hence, further research is warranted to validate the findings.
