Effects of regular physical exercise on ejaculatory control: a comparative and interventional study among male university students.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) is a key indicator for evaluating premature ejaculation (PE). While physical exercise is beneficial for male sexual health, evidence specifically linking structured exercise programs to IELT improvement is limited. Aim: To compare IELT between athletes and non-athletes, and to examine whether a 3-month guided structured exercise program improves IELT in non-athletes. Methods: A mixed-design study included 67 male university students (30 athletes, 37 non-athletes). Non-athletes underwent a 3-month, guided, home-based structured exercise program. IELT was assessed via self-report. Outcomes: Primary outcome was change in IELT; secondary outcomes included PE prevalence and regression modeling. Results: Athletes had significantly longer median IELT than non-athletes (8.0 vs. 5.0 min, Clinical implications: Guided structured exercise program may serve as a feasible, non-pharmacological candidate strategy for improving ejaculatory control in young men, though its efficacy requires confirmation in randomized controlled trials. Conclusion: Regular physical activity is associated with longer IELT. Preliminary findings suggest that a brief guided structured exercise program is associated with IELT improvement in non-athletes, though causal inference is limited by the lack of a concurrent control group. However, these preliminary findings require confirmation in larger, adequately powered randomized controlled trials due to the limited sample size and high attrition rate in this exploratory study.
