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

purpose of reviewTo review the most current literature on how the treatment for penile cancer can affect quality of life and to discuss current treatment options to overcome sexual dysfunction and ultimately improve patient wellbeing. RECENT

findingsMultiple medical and surgical therapies exist to address the high incidence of sexual dysfunction following penile cancer treatment. Advancements and refinements in the neophalloplasty, penile prosthesis, and penile lengthening procedures have opened the door to improved long-term outcomes. Additionally, studies continue to highlight the severe psychological toll that penile cancer treatment can have on patients. We explore the potential options for addressing the inherent psychologic effects of these treatments and highlight the need for further research in this domain. Although rare, it is important for all urologists to be familiar with the treatments and post-treatment sequelae of penile cancer. Penile cancer is associated with dramatic decline in quality of life and sexual function. Multiple medical and surgical therapies exist that addresses these concerns. Additionally, urologists must also be mindful of the psychologic component regarding surgical disfigurement and the decline in sexual function.
