Inflatable penile prosthesis cylinders out of place during implantation.
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 2 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
It is safe to say that the overwhelming majority of cylinders out of place result from surgeon error at the time of implantation. There are some instances where patient comorbidities could increase the difficulty of accurate development of cylinder insertion or space. Most of the time the operator recognizes his instrument out of place and corrects it intraoperatively. Other times the surgeon makes a flawed movement with a sharp instrument piercing some tissue. When the cylinder is placed initially and inflated the wayward position is usually not evident. However, in the postoperative period, the inaccurate position of the cylinder(s) can become readily apparent. The reader will notice this repeatedly stressed in Wilson's Workshop-over 90% of cylinders that are out of position can be diagnosed or prevented if one utilizes the two safety checks outlined below.
