Influence of personality disorders on sexual behaviours and response to treatment of psychogenic erectile dysfunction in phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor non-responders.

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
Background: Personality disorders may influence sexual behaviours and sexual dysfunction. Aim: Our main objective was to analyse the influence of personality disorders (PDs) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) of psychological origin that fail to respond to andrological treatment with Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (IPDE5), assessing whether there are differences in sexual behaviours and response to psychosexual treatment. Methods: The research is designed as an Results: In the case sample, 34.30% of the participants presented more than one personality disorder. No significant differences were found in sexual behaviours except for heteromasturbation (men without PDs masturbated their partners more to satisfy them than men with PDs), and men with PDs considered themselves less premature ejaculators than the control group. Finally, 82.14% of the control group did well with psychosexual therapy compared to 53.85% of the PDs group. Conclusion: Psychosexual treatment of ED has a worse outcome if the men also have PDs. Strengths and Limitations: from a clinical standpoint, it is important to assess the presence of personality disorders in men with ED and to implement psychosexual strategies to improve the response to treatment in these cases. Confirmation of the results with a much larger sample becomes necessary.
