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

Despite the high prevalence of erectile dysfunction, patients are reluctant to seek medical advice, which leads to low diagnostic rates in clinical practice. Artificial intelligence has been widely applied in the diagnosis of many diseases and may alleviate the situation. However, the applications of artificial intelligence in erectile dysfunction have not been reviewed to date. Therefore, the assistance from artificial intelligence needs to be summarized. In this review, 418 publications before January 10, 2021, regarding artificial intelligence applications in diagnosing and predicting erectile dysfunction, were retrieved from five databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and two Chinese databases (WANFANG and CNKI). In addition, the reference lists of the included studies or relevant reviews were checked to avoid bias. Finally, 30 articles were reviewed to summarize the current status, merits, and limitations of applying artificial intelligence in diagnosing and predicting erectile dysfunction. The results showed that artificial intelligence contributed to developing novel diagnostic questionnaires, equipment, expert systems, classifiers by images and predictive models. However, most of the included studies were not subjected to external validations, resulting in doubt on the generalizability. In the future, more rigorously designed studies with high-quality datasets for erectile dysfunction are required.
