Differences between protocol and review

This review is based on a published protocol (Mian 2017) but there are two additional authors to this review: Dr Niranjan J Sathianathen and Dr Eu Chang Hwang.

Notes

We have based parts of the Methods and Appendix 2 sections of this Cochrane Review on a standard template established by the Cochrane Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Group.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

SSRI probably results in extended IELT compared to placebo.

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: confidence interval; IELT: intravaginal ejaculatory latency time; MD: mean difference; PE: premature ejaculate; RCT: randomized controlled trial; RR: risk ratio; SSRI: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

aDowngraded one level for study limitations: most studies had an unclear or high risk of selection, performance and detection bias.
bNot downgraded for high I² statistic since observed inconsistency did not appear clinically relevant.
cDowngraded one level due to serious concerns regarding attrition bias.
dDowngraded one level for serious inconsistency.
