To evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for treating urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy (RP) by reviewing evidence from randomized trials.

Trazodone for erectile dysfunction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Evidence‐based medicine is an important way of allowing the reader to judge clearly whether a treatment has a place in a particular condition, and to see what faults were present in the various trials of its efficacy. It is often rather unsettling to read in a meta‐analysis or in a systematic literature review how poorly constructed many trials are. The authors from Minneapolis have carried out such a study into the use of trazodone in male erectile dysfunction. They draw attention to the poor quality of many of the trials and give their reasons for this observation. They suggest that trazodone may be helpful in men with this condition, possibly at higher doses and in men with psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
