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

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common disease of the male reproductive system, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and their partners. Currently, PE is regarded as a biopsychosocial disease with complex etiologies and diverse treatment methods. Oral selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the first-line treatment for PE, with advantages such as high safety, rapid onset of action, and non-invasiveness. However, topical anesthetics, behavioral and psychological therapies, device-assisted treatments, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can also serve as alternative therapies for patients intolerant to SSRIs. With the rapid development of technology, some new methods-such as low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)-can even improve PE through mechanisms like regulating nerve conduction and improving local microcirculation. These are all important directions for the future treatment of male PE. In this mini-review, we will elaborate on these therapeutic approaches.
