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

Obesity is caused by caloric intake exceeding over time, Obesity has multiple effects on the capacity to get and sustained an erection. Obesity and ED in males appear to be linked in many studies. Obesity is a significant risk factor for the progress of ED, which is a serious Clinical issue. This study was performed to assess the impact of weight loss induced by laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on male sex hormones and erectile function among morbid obese male patients. The study was done over 32 morbidly obese married male cases who underwent LSG for weight reduction after doing assessments during their preoperative preparation. All subjects were evaluated by 4 questionnaires and serum hormone profiles pre-and postoperatively. Our study showed statistically significant improvement in the erectile function, and the Erection Hardness Score among morbid obese men undergoing LSG after 6 months of operation. Also showed statistically significant increasing levels of testosterone and decreasing levels of Estradiol (E2) after 6 months of operation. LSG is effective with significant enhancement of the Bariatric Quality of Life and Bariatric Body Image Satisfaction.
