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

introductionThe present study sought to examine a new model to evaluate the mechanistic pathways between pain and sexual dysfunction in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), incorporating cognitive and emotional factors.

methodsMen with a self-reported diagnosis of CP/CPPS (n=94, 24-69 years, M

resultsAlmost half of participants reported mild to severe erectile dysfunction (47.4%). Sexual dysfunction was associated with greater pain symptom severity and pain catastrophizing, as well as depressive symptoms (p<0.01 for all). While pain did not independently predict levels of sexual dysfunction, the addition of pain catastrophizing and depressive symptoms into the pathway explained the association between increased pain symptoms and decreased sexual functioning (p<0.01).

conclusionsBeyond generally poor sexual functioning in the current sample, it appears as if cognitive and emotional factors play a role in the association between pain symptoms and sexual functioning in these men with CP/CPPS. The findings of how pain catastrophizing and depression impact the association of pain severity and decreased sexual functioning is important for improving patient care.
