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

The aim of the study was to assess safety and efficacy of botulinum-A toxin (BTX) injection into the bulbospongiosus muscle versus hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injection in glans penis for treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group a (n = 30) were injected with botulinum toxin type a injection in bulbospongiosus (BS) muscle at the perineum (25 units on each side). Group b (n = 30) were injected with 2 ml hyaluronic acid along the corona (proximal part) of the glans penis and frenulum. The mean IELT significantly increased from 1.78 min to 3.87 min after the BTX injection while the mean IELT was significantly increased to 7.3 min from 1.23 min before injection among the hyaluronic acid injected group (p < 0.001). The improvement of IELT was more significantly noted in the HA group than BTX group by the end of treatment. Both modalities provided a well- tolerated potential treatment in the management of PE with, HA demonstrating a higher efficacy than BTX. More high-quality, randomized prospective studies and the standardization of the inclusion criteria and the outcome assessment methods are needed in order to confirm these findings.
