Post-Radical Prostatectomy Erectile Dysfunction Assessed Using the IIEF-5 Questionnaire - A Systematic Literature Review.
Article in International journal of sexual health : official journal of the World Association for Sexual Health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 dysfunction is common postoperative complication after radical prostatectomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate erectile dysfunction among the population of men who have undergone radical prostatectomy. Finally, 21 articles are included in the current qualitative analysis. The results suggest that recovery in potency occurs after 12 months after surgery, and that different adjuvant treatment can be used to accelerate recovery and increase effectiveness. However, conclusions are not derived from all the selected articles, but are rather based on those which present clear numerical scores according to the IIEF-5 questionnaire.
