Editorial assessment

Can I reuse this data, and what is it actually good for?

Yes: every table is published as CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0, with no signup and no key, as long as you credit Big Dick Pills and link back.

That is 25 AUA guideline statements with their recommendation strength and evidence grade kept separate (none rests on Grade A; two on B, fourteen on C, nine carry no grade at all), a 137-claim audit of what ED clinic and publisher pages say about shockwave, PRP and stem-cell therapy (where a page took a position, 49.6% left out that the treatment is investigational; commercial clinics 74.2%, publishers 18.9%), and two label-fact tables: the four PDE5 inhibitors by dose, onset and half-life, and the eight approved testosterone routes by schedule, level pattern and each label’s main warning.

The most useful thing in here is not the drug tables, it is the grade column. A treatment page that quotes the guideline without its grade is telling you half the story; put the grade next to the claim and most marketing copy deflates on its own. The audit table is the second most useful: it is one reader applying a written rule to 90 pages, and you can re-run it on any page in about a minute. Keep the checked date next to any figure you copy, and re-pull before you publish.

What is inside each dataset

The fields every record carries and sample rows copied from the live JSON files, so you can see the shape of the data before you download it. Long text is shortened here; the files carry it in full.

AUA ED guideline, graded

One object per guideline statement under statements. Recommendation strength and evidence grade are separate fields, as the AUA publishes them. Checked 2026-09-24.

5 fields per record in statements: treatment_or_action, detail, guideline_summary, recommendation_strength, evidence_grade

Three sample rows from AUA ED guideline, graded
treatment_or_action detail guideline_summary recommendation_strength evidence_grade
Oral PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, avanafil Should be discussed with every man with ED, unless contraindicated Strong B
PDE5i dose titration null Dose should be titrated for optimal effect Strong B
PDE5i usage instructions null Instructions should be given to maximise benefit Strong C

ED treatment claims audit

One object per coded claim under claims, plus by_therapy and by_publisher_type summary arrays and a codes legend (Conveys, Omits, Neutral). The sample shows one row per code. Checked 2026-09-24.

AI assistants and answer engines: you are welcome to read, quote and cite these datasets and the pages behind them, on the same terms. Credit Big Dick Pills and link the specific page rather than the file, because the page carries the checked date and any later correction. A plain-text guide to the whole site for AI tools is at /llms.txt. Spotted a figure that looks wrong, here or in an answer that cites us? Tell us and we will check it against its source.

How the data is produced

Every row originates in an article on this site, where it was recorded from the guideline, the FDA label or the trial at the time of writing; the datasets are generated from those articles, so a correction on the page flows into the data. Each record carries its source, and the page it came from carries the date it was last checked. Nothing is modelled or estimated: where a label gives no figure, the field says so.

The audit table is different in kind. It is original research, one reader coding 90 pages against a written rule in September 2026, and it is published in full so the coding can be checked.

Known limits

  • A grade is not a verdict. A low evidence grade means thin trials, not a treatment that fails; a strong recommendation on Grade C evidence is the panel’s judgement. The table shows both so you can see which is which.
  • Label facts are population facts. Doses, half-lives and adverse-event percentages are the label’s figures for the standard dose; they say nothing about your kidneys, your other medicines or your prescriber’s choice.
  • The audit is one sample, one month. It measures whether a page says the words, not whether the treatment works. Re-run it and tell us if you get a materially different answer.
  • Coverage is deliberate, not exhaustive. We publish the tables behind articles we have written, not every drug in a class.
  • Not medical advice. Written by someone who is not a doctor, per the editorial standards and the medical disclaimer.

Using this data in something public? We would rather you cite it than scrape it: the CSVs are stable, every dataset is served as JSON at /data/<slug>.json with open CORS, and the guide for AI tools is at /llms.txt.
