Surgical outcomes from limiting the use of nonabsorbable suture in tunica albuginea plication for Peyronie's disease.

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
Tunica albuginea plication (TAP) surgery for Peyronie's disease (PD) is classically described using nonabsorbable suture. Many patients are aware of nodularity at the suture sites (50-88%), and some find them painful (10-33%). We explore whether limiting permanent sutures provides a durable correction of curve and report the incidence of bothersome nodules. Beginning in 2007, we modified our TAP procedure to limit the use of permanent sutures. We reviewed all patients who underwent TAP procedures from 2007 to 2014 at our institution. Patients were contacted to complete a previously published survey regarding postoperative satisfaction. In total, 142 PD patients underwent the TAP procedure and 81/142 (57%) completed the postoperative survey. Mean office follow-up and survey follow-up were 17.3 and 56.3 months, respectively. Of the surveyed patients, 6.2% complained of a bothersome residual curve, 19.8% experienced nodularity and 4.9% reported bothersome nodules. Men with dorsal curves experienced less painful nodularity than those with ventral (P=0.047) or lateral curves (P=0.017). In total, 4/142 (2.8%) of men underwent repeat intervention. At long-term follow-up, limiting permanent sutures during TAP procedures for PD is durable with respect to curvature correction and has encouragingly low levels of nodularity and bother at suture sites.
