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

Objectives: To assess novel surgical techniques in management of Peyronie's disease. Subjects: Forty-three men underwent corrective surgery using either partial plaque incision and nongraft (PPING) or multiple plaque incisions and graft (MPIG). The technique used was determined intra-operatively. Patients were assessed at baseline and follow-up based on Peyronie's disease questionnaire patient-reported outcome measure (PDQ-PROM) and erectile function. Results: The two groups were well matched in age and erectile function. At baseline MPIG group had greater deformity and poorer patient-reported outcome. Penile curvature improved from 67.9° to 10.5° in the PPING group and 77.9° to 7.1° with MPIG. PDQ-PROM improved from 29 to 13 in those who underwent PPING and 38.5 to 17.6 in those undergoing MPIG. Erectile function was preserved in both groups. Conclusions: These novel surgeries are effective in restoring penile shape and length while preserving erectile function. This is reflected in improved patient-reported outcomes. These findings should be verified by multi-institutional study.
