An integrated model to assess and treat compulsive sexual behaviour disorder.
Review in Nature reviews. Urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
Contrary to common belief, hypersexual or compulsive sexual behaviour disorder is not a current fashion diagnosis. Nevertheless, the introduction of dedicated diagnostic guidelines for International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) brings an opportunity for more accurate diagnosis and, therefore, improved research into the disorder's aetiology, assessment and therapy. A considerable proportion of both men and women consider themselves to have a problem with pornography and an even greater proportion experience their sexual behaviour as insufficiently controllable. For these people, the interplay between excitatory and inhibitory factors could be in dysbalance. In this context, biological correlates are important, but social factors, such as negative attitudes towards pornography or hostile attitudes to sexuality, also have a role. In patients with compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, excessive pornography consumption, masturbation and/or promiscuity that are out of control and lead to distress and impairment are usually present. Differential diagnoses, such as neuropsychiatric syndromes that can exhibit hypersexuality as a symptom, such as frontal lobe lesions, should be investigated and treated, as should comorbid disorders such as depression. Therapeutic approaches can be based on the Dual-Control Model and the Sexual Tipping Point Model. In each patient, an individualized therapeutic approach is multimodal and includes psychopharmaceuticals such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and naltrexone as well as specific psychotherapeutic approaches. The efficacy of some therapeutic approaches has now also been supported by initial randomized controlled trials in this patient population.
