Complications and Management of Penile Girth Enhancement with Acellular Dermal Matrix.
Article in The journal of sexual medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAcellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a common filler used widely in clinical practice to increase penile girth for cosmetic reasons, but there are few studies on its complications.
aimThe aim of this study was to investigate and analyze the complications of penile girth enhancement (PGE) with ADM.
methodsThe medical records of 78 patients who underwent PGE with ADM between June 2016 and January 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
main outcome measureRelated complications and their subsequent management were summarized and analyzed.
results78 patients (mean age 31.14 years [21-66 years]) received PGE with ADM. At the 3-month follow-up, the penile circumference was increased by 1.1 (0.5-2.1) cm on average. There were 47 patients with erectile discomfort, 12 with delayed healing, 10 with unobvious augmentation effect, 8 with wound hematoma, 7 with prepuce edema, 4 with wound infection, and 3 patients with skin necrosis of the dorsal side. 7 patients eventually underwent ADM removal. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These adverse complications indicate that ADM should be used with caution for PGE. STRENGTH & LIMITATIONS: This study adds important data, as there are few published reports on the complications of PGE with ADM. However, this study did not compare postoperative complications with ADM to those seen with other filler material.
conclusionEven with standardized surgical methods and rigorous postoperative care, complications of PGE using ADM are severe, which indicates that it is not an ideal or safe method for PGE.
