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

This network meta-analysis aimed at assessing the influence of tramadol on the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and sexual satisfaction score (SSS) in treating patients with premature ejaculation (PE). The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases (until July 2021), and original references of the included articles was systematically retrieved. The PRISMA checklist was followed. Finally, 14 articles including 1971 patients were included in this analysis. The results indicated that patients who were treated with tramadol (50 mg, 62 mg, 89 mg, and 100 mg) were superior to those treated with placebo in terms of IELT (
