The surgical management of ischaemic priapism.
Review 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 13 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
Priapism is a urological emergency that is defined as a prolonged penile erection lasting more than 4 h, remaining despite orgasm and in the absence of sexual stimulation. Without prompt and complete detumescence, time-dependent changes occur to the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosa that can result in permanent erectile dysfunction and penile deformity (curvature, shortening and loss of girth). The diagnosis is confirmed with a hypoxic and acidotic blood sample from the corpus cavernosa. The trapped blood inside the corpus cavernosa is aspirated and can be irrigated with 0.9% normal saline. Intracavernosal injection of a sympathomimetic agent is used to cause smooth muscle contraction if the previous measures fail. Failure or recurrence of priapism following these conservative measures is an indication for surgical management. Shunt procedures that create a connection with the corpus cavernosa and a neighbouring structure are often used first line. Multiple shunt procedures have been described and these are summarised in this article. Distal shunt procedures are the most commonly used as they are easier to perform and seem to have at least comparable detumescence and potency rates. Refractory or prolonged (>48 h) ischaemic priapism maybe an indication of immediate placement of a penile prosthesis.
