Patrick,

Comparisons of studies such as done by CalculatedRisk are termed metastudies: that is, studies of studies.

Without having all the details of both of the studies, and a surety that the Vasomax entry criteria were more lenient than what was used for Viagra, it's sloppy science to draw any firm conclusions.

Many here would no doubt find it hilarious to posit the premise that Vasomax could (or might) have been evaluated in a more conservative manner--that is, showing lower effectiveness than Viagra--because of differences in the two protocols. We really don't know.

One thing I can assure you. If the metastudy in question were submitted for scientific publication, it would be rejected for the above reason.
