Effect of Selective Dorsal Neurectomy on Erectile Function in Rats.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of penile selective dorsal neurectomy (SDN) on erectile function in rats.
methodsTwelve adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (15 weeks old) were divided into three groups (n=4 per group): in control group, rats received no treatment; in sham group, rats underwent a sham operation; in SDN group, rats underwent SDN with half of the dorsal penile nerve severed. The mating test was performed, and the intracavernous pressure (ICP) assessed six weeks after the surgical treatment.
resultsAt postoperative six weeks, the mating test revealed no significant difference in mounting latency and mounting frequency among the three groups (P>0.05), while the ejaculation latency (EL) was significantly longer and ejaculation frequency (EF) lower in the SDN group than in the control and sham groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in preoperative and postoperative ICP and ICP/mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) among the three groups (P>0.05).
conclusionSDN does not adversely affect the erectile function and sexual desire of rats, and at the same time it can reduce EL and EF, providing an application basis for SDN in the clinical treatment of premature ejaculation.
