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
Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a multifactorial disorder with both psychogenic and organic components, but psychosocial factors are usually neglected. Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a smartphone application targeting psychosocial factors of ED and to examine its feasibility, acceptability, and treatment response to determine the parameters for a larger clinical trial. Methods: In this single-arm feasibility study, 8 participants with situational ED were enrolled. Dr. App, a newly developed smartphone treatment application for patients with psychogenic ED consisting of 8 weekly modules based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, was delivered. The primary outcome was comparison of the International Index of Erectile Function-15 domain scores measured pre- and post-intervention. Results: Six out of 8 participants completed the Dr. App and the post-intervention measures. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a significant change in erectile function ( Conclusions: Findings from this study support the feasibility, acceptability, and potential usefulness of the smartphone application targeting psychosocial factors of ED and warrant a larger randomized clinical trial to confirm the results.
