Effect of surgical repair of acquired buried penis on sexual function in adults.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.

Suprapubic liposuction, suspensory ligament release, and preputial plasty were performed according to the clinical manifestations. The changes in erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction sexual function were evaluated according to the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) before and after treatment.
