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

objectiveData on outcome of patients with ischemic priapism (IP) due to malignant causes are scant. In this study, we compared outcome of patients with malignant vs. non-malignant IP in adult North Indian men. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe analyzed medical records of patients with IP who presented to a large tertiary care referral center from August 2005 to July 2017.

resultsData of 71 patients were analyzed. The median age was 30 years (range 17-65). The average duration of symptoms was 4.39 days (range 1-10). Most common etiology was idiopathic in 29 (40.84%), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in 24 (33.80%), and drug-induced in 15 patients. Thirty-eight patients underwent distal shunts, while nine patients underwent proximal shunt procedure. Men with malignant priapism (CML) had significantly lower success rates with interventions, prolonged hospital stay, and higher complications (p<0.05). Most complications after shunt surgery were minor (Clavein grade 1 and 2). After shunt surgery, bleeding at shunt site was observed in 14 cases, and wound infection developed in five patients. Prevalence of erectile dysfunction in patients at follow-up was high.

conclusionMen with malignant priapism (CML) had significantly lower success rates with interventions, prolonged hospital stay, and higher complications than men with non-malignant priapism.
