Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Insertion in Men with Severe Intracorporal Fibrosis.
Article in Current urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesTo retrospectively review a series of men who underwent attempted inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion into severely scarred corpora, and to analyze the surgical techniques and instruments that contributed to a successful outcome. PATIENTS AND
methodsAll IPP procedures done by a high-volume prosthetic surgeon during a 5-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Fourteen patients with severe intracorporal fibrosis underwent 15 attempted IPP insertion procedures, and are the subject of this review.
resultsA standardized surgical approach was employed for all patients. Thirteen of the 15 procedures were successful (i.e., an IPP was inserted, with satisfactory cylinder position). One procedure failed due to corporal obliteration. One patient underwent an initial failed attempt, but was successfully implanted 10 months later. Two of the 14 patients (14%) developed peri-prosthetic infection and were explanted.
conclusionIPP insertion into scarred corpora is difficult and occasionally impossible. We have developed a standardized surgical approach for these cases, using limited corporal excavation, followed by the use of sequential Uramix and then Carrion-Rossello cavernotomes, that we feel has improved our chance of a successful implant. However, due to the rarity of these cases, it is not possible to make definitive statements concerning the optimal surgical technique.
