The study checked if giving testosterone to men with low levels helps with sexual function, and it did — but it didn’t test whether giving more testosterone makes the help stronger or weaker, which is what the claim is about.

This study looks at whether testosterone therapy is safe, not whether more testosterone always means more benefits or more side effects. So it doesn’t answer the claim about dose-by-dose effects.
