Electroejaculation combined with assisted reproductive technology in psychogenic anejaculation patients refractory to penile vibratory stimulation.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPsychogenic anejaculation (PAE) is a rare disease in clinic seriously affecting quality of life, especially fertility of patients. However, there is not an effective treatment for these patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of treatment with electroejaculation (EEJ), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with PAE who were refractory to penile vibratory stimulation (PVS).
methodsTwenty PVS-refractory patients with PAE were included in the retrospective study. Semen was retrieved through EEJ procedures. According to the semen quality and patient preference, IUI or ICSI was selected.
resultsA total of 23 procedures of EEJ were performed in 20 patients. Sperm was successfully retrieved in all of the cases. Yielded semen was used in a total of 16 ICSI procedures in 6 couples. The fertilization rate was 54.0%. The ICSI cycles resulted in three pregnancies; of these one resulted in a live birth. Fourteen couples were treated with 26 IUI cycles, which resulted in live births in five pregnancies.
conclusionsEEJ offers an encouraging pregnancy opportunity for men with PAE who were refractory to PVS. The combined use of EEJ and assisted reproductive techniques is excellent management for PAE infertility. In our study, EEJ resulted in pregnancies and the birth of six healthy children.
