Pornography Consumption and Male Sexual Dysfunction: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The goal of this systematic review was to explore whether pornography consumption, which is constantly increasing, is associated with sexual dysfunction problems. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in two databases (Scopus and PubMed) to identify appropriate studies published from 2013 to 2023. Following the PRISMA guidelines and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were finally included in this review. Mixed findings exist in the literature concerning pornography viewing. While some studies showed significant associations between pornography watching and experience of sexual problems, others showed either no association at all or even beneficial effects. Frequency of pornography consumption did not seem to be a predictor factor for sexual dysfunctions as much as problematic use of pornography. Findings suggest that mere watching of pornography is not a significant risk factor for developing a sexual dysfunction. The association of pornography and sexual problems seems to be more complex and indirect, with problematic use, body dissatisfaction, and insecurities playing a significant role.
