Sustainable long-term results on postoperative sexual activity after radical prostatectomy when a clinical sexologist is included in the sexual rehabilitation process. A retrospective study on 7 years postoperative outcome.

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
introductionThe aim of this study was to perform a retrospective evaluation of long-term sustainability of a postoperative combined penile and sexual rehabilitation program involving a clinical sexologist (CS) for preoperative fully potent men undergoing daVinci robotic radical prostatectomy (dVRP) regardless of whether preservation of the neurovascular bundles was performed or not. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included 79 preoperatively potent and sexually active patients (aged 45-74 years, mean 61) that had undergone a dVRP due to localized prostate cancer and during the 1
resultsOne year postoperatively, 84% of patients were sexually active with penetrating sex, 15% with unassisted normal erections. 45% found their postoperative sexual life satisfactory (LISAT-8, question #6). Three years postoperatively, 76 patients were evaluable, 73% were sexually active with penetrating sex, 19% with unassisted normal erections. Furthermore, 56% of patients found their postoperative sexual life to be satisfactory. Seven years postoperatively, 74 patients were evaluable, 74% were sexually active with penetrating sex, 44% with unassisted normal erections. A total of 59% of patients found their postoperative sexual life to be satisfactory. The reasons for not having penetrating sex were diverse.
conclusionsInvolvement of a CS in a postoperative combined penile and sexual rehabilitation program appears to improve the possibility of an acceptable sexual life and function one year after surgery. These results appear to be sustainable in the long-term.
