Surgical treatment of Peyronie's disease with autologous tunica vaginalis of testis.
Article in BMC urology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundTo investigate the feasibility and safety of surgical treatment for Peyronie's disease (PD) by excising and repairing plaque using autologous tunica vaginalis of testis.
methodsFrom March 2007 to December 2012, total 19 patients with PD underwent surgical treatment at our center. All patients had significant phallocampsis during erection. All patients complained of decreased sexual function. During the operation, the fibrotic plaque was excised and neurovascular bundle (NVB) was spared. A size-matching autologous tunica vaginalis of testis was harvested as the graft and patched to the defect. All patients received follow up every 3 months in the first year and 6 months in the following years. Data on sexual function before and after the operation was collected and compared.
resultsAll operations were completed successfully without serious complications. The mean operative time was 74 min. The mean size of excised plaque was 3.0 cm(2). Postoperative pathological studies revealed the fibroplastic hyperplasia of excised tissue. All patients had satisfactory correction of penile appearance. The erectile penile length between pre- and post-operation didn't show significant difference. Postoperative intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction measured by IIEF-5 were significant improved.
conclusionsOur surgical treatment is feasible and safe for patients with PD. It can effectively improve the penile cosmetic appearance and patients' intercourse/overall satisfaction on sexual life.
