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

Psychogenic anejaculation is a unique problem which accounts for 0.4-0.5% of anejaculation patients. Although patients with this problem may experience erections and nocturnal emissions (NEs), they do not experience ejaculation during either masturbation or coitus. The etiology is presently unknown. Penile vibratory stimulation (PVS) and electroejaculation (EEJ) have been the main methods of sperm retrieval for psychogenic anejaculation couples undergoing assisted reproduction technology (ART). However, there is no special treatment which can heal psychogenic anejaculation patients. Here, we report two psychogenic anejaculation patients who recovered normal ejaculation ability after PVS or EEJ procedure.
