Review in Therapeutic advances in urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05287438 (Next Generation Sequencing Versus Traditional Cultures for Clinically Infected Penile Implants), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Placement of inflatable penile prosthesis is a procedure frequently performed for medication-refractory erectile dysfunction. Device implantation is not without risks, and as the frequency of device implantation increases, so do associated complications. The aim of this work is to review the most frequent operative complications associated with implantation of inflatable penile prostheses, and to review the best approaches to prevent these most common complications. Complications can broadly be categorized as infectious, noninfectious tissue-related, device-related, or related to patient and partner satisfaction. With understanding of these complications and ways to avoid them, as well as with appropriate patient selection and counseling, the inflatable penile prosthesis is an excellent option for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
