More Efficient Approach: Independent Diagnostic Value of Audiovisual Sexual Stimulation for Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction.
Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The diagnostic value of audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) for psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) is still unclear. We investigated the independent diagnostic value and optimal cut-off parameter of AVSS for psychogenic ED. All participants had received the AVSS test and nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) monitoring at least twice. ED patients were divided into psychogenic ED and organic ED according to NPTR examination. The diagnostic accuracy of AVSS parameters was evaluated with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Youden index was employed to determine the optimal diagnostic cut-off values. A total of 346 patients with ED and 60 healthy men were included in this study, among which 162 and 184 cases of psychogenic and organic ED were identified based on NPTR, respectively. When comparing the two ED groups, the area under the curve (AUC) of AVSS parameters was 0.85-0.89. Six-selected AVSS parameters could precisely diagnose psychogenic ED, exhibiting increased diagnostic specificity compared with corresponding sensitivity. When comparing psychogenic ED with the control group, the AUC of the tumescence of the tip was superior to the AUC other parameters (0.81 vs. 0.58, 0.66, 0.59, 0.53, 0.68), and the best determined diagnostic cut-off value was the tumescence of the tip < 29.87%. Independent AVSS could diagnose psychogenic ED objectively and effectively, and its diagnostic value was highest when 1.50% ≤ tumescence of the tip < 29.87%.
