Case of post-orgasmic illness syndrome associated with hypogonadism.
Article in IJU case reports, 2020. 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
introductionPost-orgasmic illness syndrome is a rare condition that occurs after ejaculation and persists for 2-7 days and is characterized by flu-like symptoms, which can significantly reduce quality of life. CASE PRESENTATION: A 21-year-old unmarried man was referred to our hospital due to flu-like symptoms that developed after ejaculation by masturbation and persisted for about 2 days. The patient's free testosterone level was slightly lower than normal. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were initially administered and helped relieve headache and muscle pain. Thereafter, the patient was able to ejaculate three times a week. In addition, after administering testosterone enanthate once or twice a month, his general fatigue significantly improved, and he could ejaculate every day.
conclusionThe pathophysiology of post-orgasmic illness syndrome has not been fully elucidated. The treatments for this condition must be accurately selected according to pathophysiology.
