Comparison of preoperative penile elastographic ultrasound findings and pathological tissue results of patients implemented with penile prosthesis.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveHistopathological analysis of the relationship between penile elastography and erectile dysfunction. MATERIAL AND
method12 patients who applied to our clinic for erectile dysfunction in the last 1 year and accepted this study were included. Preoperative two-dimensional shear wave elastography imaging was performed in 12 patients and recorded in the Pascal (kPa) unit. Approximately 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 cm tissue samples were taken from the right and left cavernous tissue during penile prosthesis implantation operation. Tissue samples were sent to the pathology department. The percentage of the area covered by muscle fibers and elastic fibers in the corpus cavernosum was noted semi-quantitatively (ratio of muscle fibers and cavernous body elastic fiber score). All data obtained were compared with each other.
resultsCavernous body elastic fiber score data(Grouped Score 1, 2 and 3) and percentage of cavernous body muscle fibers data (Grouped %10, %20, %30… %100) were compared with Shear wave elastography data (kPa). The results were not statistically significant according to the Kruskal Wallis Test. Cavernous body elastic fiber score and the percentage of cavernous body muscle fibers were also compared, it was not statistically significant according to the Kruskal Wallis test and Spearman's correlation test.
conclusionsPenile shear wave elastography can be used clinically to quantitatively assess the amount of smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers in the penis, but it deserves to be studied with a larger number of patients and a more specific interpretation of the pathology preparation.
