Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum for the Treatment of Peyronie's Disease: A 'Real World' Clinical Perspective.
Article in Drugs, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The introduction of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) as a treatment option for Peyronie's disease (PD), defined as the abnormal formation of collagen on the tunica albuginea of the penis, has provided patients with a promising new conservative therapy. Studies have shown that CCH improves curvature by an average of 17°, and although patient and sexual partner satisfaction is high, the improvement has arguable clinical implications. Similarly, the efficacy and cost of CCH contrasts strongly with more invasive surgical management, and is further limited by rare, but serious, complications and several contraindications. The future of CCH involves well-designed trials analyzing the effects of CCH on patients who are currently not indicated for therapy, and the optimal amount of treatment for the most efficient treatment possible. CCH provides a promising treatment option for patients who do not desire invasive management, but need further trials to fully elucidate its treatment implications.
