North American consensus document on infection of penile prostheses.
Article in Urology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo issue a consensus document on the prevention, management, and research of infection associated with penile prostheses, as neither professional associations nor governmental entities have issued guidelines that are specific to this infection.
methodsSixteen North American experts on infection of penile prostheses were identified and assembled to select and discuss certain issues related to infection of penile prostheses. After performing an extensive search of clinically important issues in published reports, the 16 experts met twice in person to finalize the selection, discuss the issues that were deemed most important, and issue pertinent recommendations.
resultsAlthough many subjects relevant to infection of penile prostheses were initially identified, the experts selected 10 issues as currently being the most important issues and for which there exists some support in the published data. The examined issues involved prevention, management, or research of infections associated with penile prostheses.
conclusionIn the absence of pertinent guidelines, the consensus document issued by experts in the field of prosthetic urology is anticipated to improve the quality of patient care, streamline the prevention and management of infected penile prostheses, and stimulate collaborative research. Although this consensus document could serve as best practice recommendations, the lack of adherence to these recommendations would not indicate improper care.
