[Priapism: Current diagnostics and therapy].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Priapism is characterized by involuntary persistent penile erection after or independent of sexual stimulation. The diagnostic clarification, including patient history, physical findings, duplex ultrasonography and analysis of blood gases is decisive for the underlying pathophysiology and the appropriate therapeutic procedure. Non-hypoxic and non-acidotic blood gas parameters enable a conservative approach, hypoxic, hypercarbic and acidotic parameters may lead to fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa and, in turn, to a loss of penile function. Low-flow or ischemic (veno-occlusive) priapism is an emergency situation and can lead to irreversible erectile dysfunction within 4 h. Treatment consists of blood aspiration and possibly intracavernosal injection of sympathomimetic drugs. A distal shunt is necessary in the case of treatment failure (in rare cases a proximal shunt). Management of recurrent priapism (stuttering) includes self-injection of sympathomimetic drugs and preventive long-term administration of erection inhibitory and erection promoting substances. This concept still needs to be validated. High-flow or non-ischemic priapism does not necessitate immediate treatment measures and should be kept under observation. In cases of a detectable fistula selective artery embolization is often a successful option.
