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

Background: Erectile function (EF) and its associated covariates have not been extensively studied in a large covariate of patients seeking treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Our objective is to determine the relationship between urinary symptoms and comorbidities with erectile dysfunction (ED) in 447 treatment-seeking men with LUTS. Methods: Data from the Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN) observational cohort study were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models to quantify the relationship between LUTS and ED. Models also included anxiety, depression, obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and medication use. Results: Men reporting sexual activity were younger (median age 61 Conclusions: The association of UI with ED highlights the importance of screening men with UI for ED. Modifiable health variables, such as anxiety and diabetes, were related to ED and erectile confidence in treatment-seeking men with LUTS.
