Efficacy of combination therapy with biofeedback and dapoxetine in lifelong premature ejaculation treatment: a prospective randomized study.
Trial report in International urology and nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposePremature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual dysfunction that significantly affects the quality of life of the patient and their partner. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy with biofeedback-guided pelvic floor exercise therapy (BFT) and dapoxetine 30 mg.
methodsSixty-five patients diagnosed with lifelong PE were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups as BFT, dapoxetine 30 mg and a combination of BFT and dapoxetine 30 mg. The patients were compared with the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) pre-treatment and post-treatment 1st and 3rd months.
resultsThe mean IELTs of the patients in Group 1 were 40 s in pre-treatment, 115 s at the end of the 4th week and 140 s at the end of the 12th week. The IELT values of the patients in Group 2 were 40 s in pre-treatment, 145 s in the 4th week and 170 s in the 12th week. The IELT values were calculated in Group 3 as 42.5 s in pre-treatment, 185 s in the 4th week and 205 s in the 12th week When the IELT was statistically compared between the groups at 1st and 3rd months, the duration in the combination group was found to increase significantly (p < 0.001).
conclusionCombination therapy with BFT and dapoxetine 30 mg in lifelong PE treatment is a good alternative with a low side effect profile and acceptable continuous efficiency.
