Priapism in Sickle Cell Disease: An Evaluation of the Knowledge of an at Risk Population in Jamaica.
Article in Sexual medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionIschemic priapism is characterized by painful erections that may lead to erectile dysfunction. Men with sickle cell disease (SCD) are particularly prone to this condition, however, the knowledge among this population with respect to possible complications is not well known.
aimThe objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of males with SCD about priapism and its possible consequences.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out among consecutive consenting males aged 12 years and older with SCD presenting to the Sickle Cell Unit between September 2018 and August 2019. All participants completed a questionnaire detailing knowledge on the definition of priapism, its association with SCD, consequences of untreated priapism and treatment strategies. The responses were used to generate a total priapism knowledge score for each of the participants.
main outcome measuresMain outcomes included knowledge of the term priapism, its association with SCD as well as the total priapism knowledge score.
results219 patients of mean age 29.8 ± 13 years completed the questionnaire. 38.4% of patients were familiar with the term priapism and of these 68.8% were aware of the association between SCD and priapism. There was a significant association between knowledge of association of priapism with SCD and increasing educational level (P = .036) and history of prior priapism episodes (P = .02). There was a significant association between knowledge of the term "priapism" and history of priapism (P = .002). The mean total priapism knowledge score among the participants was 5.16 out of a maximum score of 12, with 70.8% of participants being categorized as having "poor knowledge."
conclusionThere is a general lack of knowledge among patients with SCD with respect to the term priapism. Education campaigns geared toward addressing the identified knowledge gaps may prove beneficial in increasing awareness among this population and potentially decrease the risk of complications.
