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

backgroundPremature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions, which can directly harm men's self-esteem and affect the stability of the relationship between husband and wife. To some extent, PE even affects the harmony and stability of society. So, men's health has gained more and more attention. As one of the long-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), fluoxetine has been proven to be effective in the treatment of PE by many trails. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fluoxetine for PE to provide the newest evidence for clinical use. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Literature research will be divided into 2 parts: electronic search and manual search. We will search PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), the China Science and Technology Journal database (VIP), and the Wanfang database online. We will select the eligible studies published up to December 31, 2018. Manual searches mainly retrieve dissertations, ongoing trails, internal reports, and so on. We use intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) as the primary outcome of PE and we also care about the following indexes: PE Diagnostic Tool (PEDT); Arabic index of PE (AIPE); Index of PE (IPE). In addition, we will carefully observe the patient's adverse reactions during the medication. Two reviewers will read the articles, extract the data information, and assess the risk of bias independently. Data analysis will be used the software such as RevMan V.5.3.5; EndNote X7 and Stata 13.0.

resultsThis study will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence of fluoxetine for PE from several aspects, including IELT, PEDT, AIPE, IPE, and adverse events.

conclusionThis systematic review will provide evidence to assess the effectiveness and safety of fluoxetine in the treatment of PE. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42018109722.
