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

backgroundPremature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions, with a prevalence of about 4%-39% in the Chinese population. Studies have shown that a variety of biological factors can lead to premature ejaculation, such as central nervous system disorders, hypersensitivity of the penis head, and psychological factors. Based on clinical experience, psychological counseling and education of patients and partners should be ranked as the first priority when treating PE. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disorders by altering beliefs and actions. It has also been demonstrated to be clinically useful in treating a number of diseases. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a mobile-based CBT intervention on patients with PE compared to conventional routine treatment.

methodsThis study is a prospective randomized controlled trial that will be conducted from May 2023 to Dec 2024 at ten hospitals, primarily including the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University with an 8-week follow-up. The clinical trial central randomization system will be used to create and implement the specific randomization method. Baseline data of both groups will be measured and collected. The premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) and the female sexual distress scale-revised for premature ejaculation (FSDS-R-PE) will be collected on the first day, 28±2 days, and 56±2 days during the intervention period, and the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) will be measured in both groups. The Shapiro-Wilk test will be used for normality testing. Pearson correlation analysis will be used for correlation analysis. Differences between groups will be compared using analysis of variance or exact probability calculations. DISCUSSION: This study will investigate the effect of a mobile-based CBT intervention on patients with PE.
