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

Stuttering priapism is rare and under-investigated clinical entity. Although it shares similarities with ischaemic priapism, by definition, stuttering priapism has distinct characteristics that advocate for a different management in the clinical setting. Therefore, the management of stuttering priapism aims primarily to prevent recurrence rather than the resolution of spontaneous attacks. A multimodal approach and the individualization of each case are essential because of the diversity of the condition and the plethora of proposed therapeutic strategies. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology and familiarity with contemporary, past and emerging future agents and therapeutic options are required in order to provide an optimal solution for each patient. In addition, patient counselling and the option to combine therapeutic strategies and challenge second-line therapies are essential weapons in the armament of the urologist. Although further clinical trials and studies are mandatory in order to obtain solid data and provide recommendations, all therapeutic options are analysed, with specific interest in the potential advantages and disadvantages. A structured evaluation procedure is also described.
