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

Penile fracture is an uncommon condition in day-to-day urological practice. Though most cases of penile fracture are traumatic in nature, these are typically unilateral. Synchronous bilateral cases have been rarely reported. We present the third case recorded to date, to the best of our knowledge, of a metachronous penile fracture to the contralateral corpora due to trauma related to sexual intercourse. The first presentation demonstrated a significant tear to the left corporal body at surgical exploration that was repaired. There was no postoperative complications or erectile dysfunction on outpatient follow-up. Six months thereafter, the patient had another similar presentation and demonstrated a right corporal body fracture which was repaired surgically on an urgent basis. Prompt diagnosis and low threshold for surgical intervention are essential to reduce morbidity and prevent long-term complications.
