Older age and a large tunical tear may be predictors of increased erectile dysfunction rates following penile fracture surgery.
Article in International journal of impotence research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Penile fracture is a rare urological occurrence resulting from a tear in the tunica albuginea of the penis. In this study, 26 patients diagnosed with a penile fracture were treated with early surgical correction. The mean age at the time of the injury was 41.7 years. The average follow-up time of the study population was 28.8 months. The mean time from fracture to surgery was 15.6 ± 19.9 h. In total, 23% of the patients had a penile nodule and 11.5% of these patients reported penile deviation. Post surgery, erectile dysfunction (ED) was present in nine (34.6%) patients. During the follow-up, the mean International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score was 20.9 ± 4.3 (10-25). There was no significant difference in the time from fracture to surgery among the patients with or without ED. However, the tunical tear size was significantly larger in the patients with ED as compared with those without ED. Furthermore, the patients with ED were older than those without ED. Older age and the size of the tunical tear appeared to be correlated with the development of ED. However, prospective large series are needed to confirm these results.
