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

Background: Primary premature ejaculation (PPE) affects men's sexual confidence, impairs couple relationships, and may lead to anxiety and depression. Compound Jinji Granule (CJG) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula for treating PPE. Preliminary rat experiments suggested its potential in delaying ejaculation, and this study aims to further validate its clinical efficacy. Methods: This multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial enrolled patients with PPE diagnosed with liver depression and kidney deficiency pattern. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group for 4 weeks. The experimental group received CJG plus a placebo matching dapoxetine, while the control group received a placebo matching CJG plus dapoxetine. The primary outcome was the change in stopwatch-measured average intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) during treatment. Secondary outcomes included the premature ejaculation profile (PEP), TCM symptom score, degree of IELT improvement, and clinical global impression of change (CGI-C). Results: A total of 92 subjects were enrolled, with 7 dropouts (4 in the experimental group, 3 in the control group). After 4 weeks of treatment, the average IELT in the experimental group increased from 0.29 ± 0.12 min at baseline to 2.03 ± 0.83 min ( Conclusion: CJG significantly prolongs IELT, improves ejaculatory control and sexual satisfaction, effectively alleviates ejaculation-related distress and couple communication, and demonstrates good safety.
