Practice Patterns Among Korean Urologists for Glans Penis Augmentation Using Hyaluronic Acid Filler in the Management of Premature Ejaculation.
Article in Sexual medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionGlans penis augmentation (GPA) using hyaluronic acid (HA) gel has been developed for treating premature ejaculation (PE) with penile hypersensitivity. The injected HA filler creates a barrier that reduces the tactile stimuli to the hypersensitive dorsal nerve. Although the HA filler is biodegradable and is believed to not cause permanent loss of sexual function, the current International Society for Sexual Medicine guideline for PE does not recommend this procedure owing to concerns regarding sexual dysfunction.
aimTo investigate the practice patterns for GPA using HA filler among Korean urologists, and to identify whether urologist experienced patient reports of sexual dysfunction post-treatment.
methodsBetween March 2016 and July 2016, a specially designed questionnaire was mailed to 86 selected Korean urologists who had used injectable materials to treat PE.
main outcome measuresThe prevalence and awareness of sexual dysfunction after GPA using HA filler were evaluated.
resultsOverall, 56 urologists completed the survey (response rate: 69.2%), of which 36 (64.3%) had performed GPA using HA filler. They reported having performed a combined total of 4,344 such GPA procedures. Most urologists (72.7%) performed GPA using HA filler in patients who benefit from topical anesthetics. Patients with a history of failed pharmacotherapy (59.1%) and selective dorsal nerve neurotomy (45.5%) were selected for GPA using HA filler. The respondents (44.4%) encountered overall 206 (4.7%) cases of patients reports of recurrence of PE. Interestingly, only 36 (0.8%) cases of glans pain or paresthesia and no cases of erectile dysfunction post-treatment were reported.
conclusionKorean urologists performed GPA using HA filler when pharmacotherapy failed or if there was a response to topical treatment. Paresthesia and hypoesthesia after GPA using HA filler are rare, and no cases of erectile dysfunction were encountered by Korean urologists. Jeong HG, Ahn ST, Kim JW, et al.
