Prevalence of prostatitis-like symptoms in outpatients with four premature ejaculation syndromes: a study in 438 men complaining of ejaculating prematurely.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the incidence of prostatitis-like symptoms (PLS) in men with or without PE, and the differences among the 438 outpatients with the four PE syndromes. SUBJECTS AND
methodsBetween January 2012 and January 2013, 438 consecutive heterosexual men complaining of PE and another 493 male healthy subjects without the complaint were included in this study. Each of them completed a detailed face-to-face questionnaire for information of demographics, National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI), and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). Each patient was classified as one of the four PE subtypes: lifelong PE (LPE), acquired PE (APE), natural variable PE (NVPE), or premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction (PLED).
resultsThere were no significant difference between patients and control subjects regarding demographics. In the PE group, the prevalence of PLS were 32%, showing statistical significance compared with control subjects (15.8%, P<0.001). And the NIH-CPSI score was 10.0±7.9, showing significant difference compared with control subjects (6.0± 5.4, P<0.001). Among the four PE syndromes, patients with PLED had the highest prevalence of PLS (42.3%, P<0.001), but the difference of NIH-CPSI scores among the four PE syndromes was not significant (P=0.055).
conclusionsPLS were more common in patients with PE. Also, patients had worse NIH-CPSI scores than the control subjects. Therefore, patients with PLED had the highest incidence of PLS.
