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

Systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is a global parameter that comprehensively reflects body inflammation, this study aims to assess the correlation between this index and erectile dysfunction (ED). This cross-sectional study incorporated 164 ED patients and 95 healthy adult males. The collection of general demographic information and pertinent hematological data from the participants enabled the computation of corresponding SII values. Statistical analysis, encompassing descriptive statistics as well as normality and logistic regression analyses, was carried out employing SPSS version 26. The findings of the univariate analysis revealed a noteworthy distinction in triglyceride levels (TG) (P = 0.017) and SII (P < 0.001) between ED patients and the healthy population. Subsequent multivariate logistic regression analysis unveiled a significant association between SII (odd ratio (OR):1.012, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.008-1.015; P < 0.001) and the occurrence of ED. Since the impact value is not clearly visible, SII/100 is utilized to magnify the effect value one hundredfold. The regression analysis results indicate that the OR value of SII/100 is 3.171, and the 95% CI is 2.339-4.298 (P < 0.001). The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis ascertained an AUC of 0.863 (P < 0.001) for SII, with a determined cut-off value of 391.53(10
