Effect of operative local anesthesia on postoperative pain outcomes of inflatable penile prosthesis: prospective comparison of two medications.
Trial report in International journal of impotence research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Few studies have examined the roles of dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) and penile ring block (PRB) in surgery of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) placement. We sought to compare the postoperative pain outcomes of two different medications used in DPNB plus PRB. We thus carried out a prospective study of patients with erectile dysfunction who underwent "de novo" IPP placement between January 2013 and June 2013. Patients were divided to one of three groups: 1-DPNB plus PRB with bupivacaine injection; 2-DPNB plus PRB with ropivacaine injection and, 3-Control group without DPNB or PRB injection. Postoperative pain score and pain medication usage were recorded 2 h postoperatively, and every 24 h, for a week. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used as pain scale measurement. A total of 131 patients were included in this study: 40 to bupivacaine, 47 to ropivacaine, and the rest were controls. Two hours postoperatively, mean VAS was significantly different (p < 0.0001) between medicated patients and the control group, however, no significant differences were observed between medication groups. Mean VAS was not significantly different among the groups from post-surgical day 2 thru 7. In conclusion, DPNB plus PRB during IPP provided effective analgesia in the immediate post-operative recovery.
