Prevalence of self-reported symptoms of male sexual dysfunction among Honduran adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundMale sexual dysfunctions are common worldwide; however, Central America faces a marked scarcity of epidemiological data that would allow for an adequate understanding of their clinical impact and guide public health decision-making.
aimTo estimate the survey-based prevalence of self-reported symptoms of male sexual dysfunction among Honduran adult men participating in an online survey during 2025 and to examine variations across age groups.
methodsA cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using voluntary online recruitment. A total of 10,582 adult men from all 18 departments of Honduras completed the epidemiological section of the Honduran Sexuality and Well-Being Questionnaire (CHSB). The self-reported symptoms assessed included delayed ejaculation, low sexual desire, premature ejaculation, pain during intercourse, and erectile difficulty, measured using single dichotomous items referring to the previous 60 days. Differences were estimated using χ² tests and Cramer's V, followed by multivariable binary logistic regression models adjusted for age, marital status, and territorial setting.
resultsDelayed ejaculation symptoms were the most frequently reported (18.3%), followed by low sexual desire (11.7%), premature ejaculation symptoms (10.5%), erectile difficulty (6.4%), and pain during intercourse (3.0%). Significant differences were observed across age groups, although effect sizes were small (Cramer's V: 0.04-0.09). Premature ejaculation symptoms and erectile difficulty increased progressively with age, reaching 17.8% and 13.9%, respectively, among men aged 45 years or older. In adjusted models, increasing age was associated with higher odds of low sexual desire, premature ejaculation symptoms, and erectile difficulty; territorial setting and marital status were associated with selected symptoms. CLINICAL TRANSLATION: The observed age-specific patterns may help inform future sexual healthscreening strategies in Honduras; however, clinical assessment using validated instruments is required before these symptoms can be interpreted as sexual dysfunctions.
conclusionSelf-reported symptoms of male sexual dysfunction were frequently reported andshowed distinct age-related patterns in this online sample of Honduran adult men. These surveybasedestimates highlight the need for future studies using probabilistic sampling and validated clinical measures.
