Lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction in men from the Republic of Moldova.
Article in Journal of medicine and life. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05765331 (Evaluating the Effectiveness of Chatbot-Based Intervention on Enhancing Self-management and Decision Self-efficacy Among Men Having Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms With or Without Erectile Dysfunction in the Post COVID-19 Era), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
A transversal study based on 1,186 respondents' group questioning was realized in order to study lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction (ED) prevalence in men from the Republic of Moldova. The basic tools used included IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) and IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function) questionnaires as well as general questions to assess the presence of risk factors. ED total prevalence in the studied population was 47.1%, inclusively mild form - 22%, slightly moderate - 12.4%, moderate - 7.6% and severe - 51%. The overall prevalence of LUTS symptoms, according to the IPSS score, was 42.9% with significant variations in males up to 40 years - 15.7% and over this age - 62.6% (p <0.05). LUTS presence correlates directly with erectile dysfunction prevalence, especially in men over the age of 40, where 82% of those with LUTS will also have ED. LUTS and ED symptomatologies have an increased prevalence among men from the Republic of Moldova, especially over the age of 40. Statistically significant correlations between these two pathologies were demonstrated. These correlations need to be taken into account both in diagnosis establishment and in concomitant treatment.
