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

backgroundThe 46,XX testicular difference of sex development is a rare genetic condition linked to primary hypogonadism and male infertility. However, research on how this condition affects male sexual functioning is lacking. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we describe the several dimensions of sexual function and its related associates in a 27-year-old Egyptian male man who has the disease but did not initially disclose any sexual dysfunction. Using self-administered validated questionnaires, the man demonstrated a reduction in erectile function, sexual desire, and intercourse satisfaction, along with premature ejaculation. Additionally, he had varying degrees of mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, and perceived stress. The hormonal assay revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. The quality of life was poor.

conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report that used validated measuring instruments to show detrimental alterations in mood, numerous facets of sexual function, and quality of life in a man with 46,XX testicular difference of sex development. Men with this syndrome should receive a multidisciplinary strategy, which includes coping with hypogonadism and psychological support, in addition to sexual dysfunction treatment. This can help patients enhance their quality of life.
