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
This study aims to examine the impact of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection on male erectile function and to identify potential influencing factors. Male participants aged 18-65 years from Beijing and Shanghai were included in the study. A post-COVID-19 sexual function questionnaire was utilized for data collection. The SPSS 23.0 software facilitated data analysis, employing mean ± standard deviation to describe continuous variables. A total of 1098 valid questionnaires were collected. The findings indicate a significant increase in sexual drive across all age groups following COVID-19 infection, with notable erection difficulties in the young and middle-aged groups. Compared to uninfected individuals, infected men reported a significant decline in total sexual function scores and overall satisfaction, with markedly lower satisfaction noted in the youth group. Post-COVID-19 infection, there is an increase in male sex drive across all age groups. Erectile difficulties notably escalated in the young and middle-aged groups, and there was a general decrease in the total scores of sexual function and satisfaction, particularly among the young, whereas the middle-aged and elderly groups were less impacted.
