1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The constant refrain for patients seeking penile implant is, "can you make it bigger?" It is a different request when the patient is young and fully potent compared with the mature individual suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) for whom conservative therapies don't work. The purpose of this workshop is to review strategies to make the ED patient undergoing inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) have an enhanced penile appearance by having more of his phallus visible outside his body. Our common procedures are to use a combination of vacuum device preparation, oversizing the cylinders 1-2 cm, and daily aggressive cycling of the device for at least 6 months following implantation. More complex surgical solutions are also covered.
