Surgical reconstruction for penile fracture: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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 26 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
Penile fracture is a rare condition that describes the rupture of the corpus cavernosum following direct, high-pressure trauma to the erect penis. There is no standardized management algorithm for these patients. We performed a systematic review of the past 10 years regarding management of penile fractures. A complete PRISMA-P 2015 checklist was performed where we reviewed English articles published over the past 10 years to identify 105 articles, where 63 articles were of relevance and subsequently narrowed to a total of 28 articles into the final review for this study. We determined that immediate penile exploration and tunica repair is considered the most common and current management of penile fractures with experts demonstrating that it leads to the fastest in recovery in erectile function and positive cosmetic outcomes. However, we also determined that the specific algorithm can be variable-down to the suture material, use of catheterization, urethroplasty when involved, and length of recovery/follow-up. In the last several decades, men with penile fracture have been treated, in most cases, with immediate surgical intervention. This review highlights the varying practices regarding surgical exploration, injury repair, and postoperative management in men with a penile fracture. Immediate penile exploration and tunica repair have been the mainstay approach of management.
