1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This is a case report on a patient with an unusual presentation and clinical course of priapism. It further discusses treatment options with reflection on current literatures and guidelines. 48 year old patient presented with a history of more than 50 episodes of priapism, each lasting for five minutes. Patient had history of brain tumor that was resected and had since been in remission. On examination and further biochemistry assessment revealed conflicting clinical findings, making it difficult to ascertain the type of priapism in this case. The patient, however, recovered from the acute attacks of priapism after 24 hours of conservative management and no obvious cause had been identified on post-discharge follow-up. Priapism, despite being rare, is a medical emergency. This case report reflected upon the limitations of treatment guidelines and the lack of level one evidence to support treatment decisions.
