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

backgroundPenile curvature (PC) can be surgically corrected by plication techniques or Nesbit corporoplasty. These shortening techniques can be complicated by post-operative: penile shortening, recurrent PC, palpable suture knots and erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, Nesbit procedures require the use of a penile tourniquet to avoid intraoperative bleeding. This observational study aims to assess the results of Nesbit modified corporoplasty, avoiding intraoperative use of tourniquet without risk of bleeding. The objective is to reduce penile ischemic anatomical and functional damages such as long-term erectile dysfunction.

methodsBetween January 2010 and March 2019, a total of 64 patients with congenital penile curvature (CPC) and Peyronie's disease (PD) underwent surgical correction with a Nesbit modified technique first time described by Rolle

resultsDuring operations, no intraoperative bleeding was noted, and no short-term complications such as hematomas or neurovascular bundle lesions were reported. At 6 months, no palpable subcutaneous indurations and no sensory change were detected. Post-operative penile shortening was reported in 38 (59.4%) patients (mean 0.83±0.79 cm), but it did not influence the high overall satisfaction rate of 91.4%. Only 2 patients reported a slightly partial recurrence of curvature (<15%) with no need for a redo surgery. Mean IIEF-5 score increased from 17.1±5.2 to 20.8±3.9 at 6 months and 21.8±3.4 at 12 months (P<0.001 in both cases). Mean PSV also significantly increased at the end of follow-up (28.5±6.1 at baseline

conclusionsConsidering the optimal results in terms of erectile functions increasing and absence of PC recurrence (>15°), we think that Nesbit modified corporoplasty without tourniquet application during reconstruction is a safe and effective surgical procedure for all kind of shortening corporoplasty to reduce the time of penile ischemia, preventing even serious consequences for the normal physiology of erection.
