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

This study investigates the association between the hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) and erectile dysfunction (ED), a prevalent male sexual health concern. Analyzing data from 2,197 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2004), we employed logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline analysis to examine this relationship while conducting comprehensive sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Of the participants, 725 individuals reported ED history. Regression analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship between HRR levels and ED likelihood, with fully adjusted models showing a 69% reduced ED risk per HRR unit increase (odds ratio [
