Penile prosthesis salvage: a historical look at the Mulcahy technique and a review of the latest literature.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Historically, management of inflatable penile prosthesis infection was explantation of the device with delayed reimplantation at a later date. In 1991, this paradigm was challenged when early attempts at washout and immediate salvage proved successful. The clinical experiences and data generated over the past 30 years have allowed implanters to refine their salvage procedures to improve patient outcomes. In this article, we review the original Mulcahy technique for salvage and discuss updates to this protocol based on recent data.
