Restoring Quality of Life: A Comprehensive Review of Penile Rehabilitation Techniques Following Prostate Surgery.
Review in Cureus, 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
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men, and its treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Prostate surgery can often result in erectile dysfunction (ED), significantly impacting patients' quality of life. Penile rehabilitation techniques have been developed to restore erectile function following prostate surgery. This review discusses the different penile rehabilitation techniques available, their effectiveness, and the factors affecting their success. This paper also addresses the importance of addressing the psychological aspects of ED in these patients and the need for personalized and tailored rehabilitation plans. By providing a comprehensive understanding of penile rehabilitation techniques, this paper can assist clinicians in restoring the quality of life of patients who have undergone prostate surgery.
