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

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of thickened condoms in the treatment of premature ejaculation. Methods: From August to December 2021, patients with premature ejaculation treated in the Urology and Andrology Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University were selected for a clinical controlled study. A total of 100 patients with premature ejaculation were enrolled as the premature ejaculation group and 30 normal men as the control (normal married men, age <30 years, normal sexual life). Each patient's ejaculation latency, contraceptive safety, comfort, glans sensitivity, dorsal nerve conduction velocity, serum reproductive hormone level, penile hardness, and penile erection were measured in the premature ejaculation and normal control groups. Results: The comfortability associated with thickened condoms in the premature ejaculation group was poor (P<0.05). After using a thickened condom, the time to ejaculate of the premature ejaculation group was significantly prolonged (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the penis vibration threshold increased significantly, indicating that the nerve sensitivity decreased (P<0.05). In the premature ejaculation group, the total erection time and the average hardness of coronary sulcus in the thickened condom group were significantly higher than those in the ordinary condom group (P<0.05), and the serum androgen level could be significantly increased after using the thickened condom (P<0.05). Conclusions: The thickened condom can effectively maintain and prolong the hyperemia state of the penis and enhance the intensity of penile erection. Thickened condoms physically preserve and extend the time of penile erection, resist and overcome premature ejaculation, and improve the ejaculation condition to improve the quality of sexual intercourse.
