Treatment of sexual dysfunction induced by hyperprolactinemia accompanied by reduced luteinizing hormone levels: A case report.

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
Key Clinical Message: Sexual dysfunction induced by hyperprolactinemia accompanied by reduced luteinizing hormone (LH) is common in anrology clinics. A low dose of bromocriptine is helpful for restoring penile erectile function and libido in patients. Abstract: Sexual dysfunction is closely related to hormonal disorders, of which prolactin (PRL) and luteinizing hormone (LH) disorders are common. How to treat sexual dysfunction induced by hyperprolactinemia accompanied by reduced LH levels is worth discussing. In this study, we aimed to present the case of a 35-year-old male patient with sexual dysfunction. The treatment process and physical and laboratory examination results were recorded. Before treatment, the PRL and LH levels in this patient were 31.27 ng/mL and 1.62 mIU/mL, respectively. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score was initially 14 points. After regular treatment with low doses of bromocriptine and tadalafil, the hormonal disorder was corrected (PRL: 11.16 ng/mL and LH: 2.28 mIU/mL) and sexual function was recovered (IIEF-5: 23 points). This case report suggested a sufficient exposure to low-dose bromocriptine for such patients. Conversely, the exogenous supplementation of human chorionic gonadotropin may not be appropriate.
