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

introductionThe aim of this study was to identify possible risk factors for urethral rupture and to evaluate the effect of urethral rupture repair on long-term functional outcomes and complications. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe medical records of consecutive penile fracture patients were retrospectively reviewed. Penile fracture patients with and without urethral rupture were compared according to demographics, clinical and intraoperative findings. Comparisons of postoperative functional results of the groups were performed using the 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Finally, among them, long-term penile complications including penile curvature, painful erection, palpable nodule, and paresthesia were assessed.

resultsFifty-three patients participated. Patients with urethral rupture (

conclusionsOlder age is a possible risk factor for a concomitant urethral rupture with penile fracture and it seems to be associated with urethral bleeding and bilateral corpus cavernosum involvement. Additionally, urethral rupture repair neither adversely affected functional outcomes nor increased penile complication rates.
