Nocturnal penile tumescence devices: past, present and future.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Erectile function is an important part of men's health that can significantly impact quality of life. Naturally occurring nighttime erections experienced by men throughout their lifespan provides insight into penile health as well as overall health. Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) and nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) devices that can non-invasively evaluate the presence and quality of erections can have valuable diagnostic and clinical utility. Early devices have several limitations that limit their current use. New, wearable devices have promising applications for the evaluation of erectile function over time. Continued advancements in this technology have the potential to render future generations of these devices as invaluable tools that are useful for both men and healthcare professionals.
