Cognitive behavioral therapy as an adjunct treatment for Pakistani men with ED.
Article in International journal of impotence research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The goal of this study was to determine potential positive effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on Pakistani men with ED who were undergoing treatment with a PDE-5 inhibitor. We used a pre-post research design comparing men with and without adjunctive CBT. Men in the two groups were compared to determine whether CBT improved sexual function, as measured by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). A total of 60 individuals diagnosed with ED completed the study. Participants were systematically assigned to one of two groups, the CBT group or the control group. The sample was drawn from outpatients referred through several hospitals in Islamabad. All men showed improvement in sexual functioning over the course of the study, though post treatment, men in the CBT group showed greater improvement on IIEF subscales of erectile functioning, orgasmic function, intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction than those in the control group. CBT can be considered an effective and supportive means for achieving better sexual outcomes for Pakistani men taking PDE-5 inhibitors for erectile problems.
