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

We present a unique case of a 39-year-old male with a 20-year history of chronic penile pain. Unfortunately, there are currently very limited reports on how best to manage chronic penile pain, as chronic penile pain is a diagnosis of exclusion without any apparent disease. Here, we describe our patient's clinical presentation of chronic penile pain, history of previously failed medical and procedural treatments, and eventually completion of cryoablation of the penile nerves. In this case study, we demonstrated that targeted cryoablation of the penile nerves is a potential treatment option for chronic penile pain that failed medical management. We also discuss the anatomy and innervation of the penis as it relates to sensation of chronic penile pain and subsequent cryoablation of the penile nerves.
