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

backgroundObesity is a worldwide prevalent problem which negatively affects most of the human body systems. Male sexual dysfunction is a frequent problem in obese individuals. Nowadays, bariatric surgery is the most successful way for the management of morbid obesity. Recent research has concluded that it has a significant improving effect on sexual function. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to assess the long-term effect of bariatric surgery on male sexual function. PATIENTS AND

methodsSixty-six male patients indicated for bariatric surgery were enrolled in this prospective study. Only forty-eight of them completed the study. Patients were invited to fill the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire twice, preoperatively (T1) and 12 months postoperatively (T2). Simultaneously, patients' serum testosterone levels were assayed.

resultsAt T2, the patients showed highly significant increase in the IIEF scores and the serum testosterone levels (p<0.001). Only weight and BMI were significant predictors of the IIEF scores. The same factors as well as the patients' age were predictors of the serum testosterone levels.

conclusionBariatric surgery improves male sexual health. It is associated with significant increase in IIEF score and serum testosterone levels.
