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

objectiveIn computed tomography examinations performed for various reasons, calcified Peyronie's dis-ease can be incidentally detected. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the frequency of calcified Peyronie'sdisease incidentally detected in patients with abdominal computed tomography. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe images of male patients undergoing abdominal computed tomography betweenJanuary 2019 and January 2020 were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of calcified Peyronie's dis-ease. 1968 patients remained after subtracting computed tomography scans for insufficient evaluation of the penis, evaluated for the presence of calcified Peyronie's disease by two radiologists based on consensus. Thelocalization, side, and the number of plaques were recorded.

resultsThe computed tomography examination of 1968 patients revealed calcified Peyronie's disease in 130 (6.6%) patients. Peyronie's disease was bilateral in 73 patients (56.1%), and unilateral in 57 (43.9%). A single plaque was observed in 44 (33.9%) patients, and multiple plaques in 86 (66.1%). The plaques werelocated in the middle portion of the penis in 98, proximal penis in 92, and distal penis in 31 cases.

conclusionCalcified Peyronie's disease is incidentally detected on computed tomography examinations at a rate not rare. Peyronie's disease tends to be multiple, bilateral, and localized in the middle portion of thepenis.
