Engineering of erectile tissue: the state and future of corporal restoration.
Review in World journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo provide an overview of the state of tissue engineering relative to male erectile tissue and the implications for treatment of penile pathology.
methodsA PubMed review of the relevant peer-reviewed literature pertaining to engineering of penile tissues was performed.
resultsThere are multiple pathologies that threaten form and/or function of the penis. Management of disease rarely offers a path to true restoration. Historical efforts to correct structural defects have largely relied on synthetic materials, commercially prepared allograft or xenograft constructs, or autologous tissue substitutes. These approaches have traditionally suffered from less-than-optimal clinical outcomes and degrees of patient morbidity that may be preventable. Prior work in tissue engineering of corpora cavernosa has demonstrated the ability to produce functional tissue in small and large animal models. A human clinical trial is currently underway.
conclusionsVaried conditions pathologically affecting the penis warrant development of more sophisticated tissue-based solutions. Animal models have demonstrated efficacy in restoring functional corpora cavernosa, and upcoming clinical trials will serve to determine safety and efficacy in humans.
