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

rationalePriapism is a common urologic emergency, but high-flow penile priapism (HFP) caused by trauma is very rare. Therefore, HFP diagnosis and treatment are still not standardized. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 29-year-old man was admitted to the urology department of our hospital on August 01, 2019, due to "persistent penile erection caused by a straddle injury." DIAGNOSIS: On July 17, 2019, the patient underwent Doppler ultrasonography, which indicated swollen corpus cavernosum.

interventionsThe patient took over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs but the erectile state of the penis remained unchanged. A second perineal injury resulted in hospital admission. Multimodality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed nodular abnormal signals at the right corpus cavernosum root. Subsequently, selective arterial interventional angiography confirmed the MRI findings. Spring coils were then inserted for embolization, and the pseudoaneurysm, fistula, and priapism disappeared. OUTCOMES: Two months after surgery, sexual stimuli could normally cause penile erection, with normal hardness. The patient's sexual life returned to normal 3 months after surgery.

conclusionMultimodality MRI is very effective in detecting high blood flow priapism. Its application would improve the clinical management of this ailment.
