Expanded Utilization of Intralesional Therapies for Treatment of Peyronie's Disease.
Review in Research and reports in urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: In this narrative review we explore additional indications for which intralesional collagenase Results: Patients receiving CCH in the acute phase of PD have shown significant improvement in penile curvature - which may be even more significant than reported due to progressive curvature over the longitudinal course of injection therapy. Across studies, patients with ventral plaques achieved the greatest curvature improvement (~30°) compared to PD patients with dorsal or lateral plaques. Patients with curvature > 90° have been minimally documented. However, the concept of patients with higher degree of curvature achieving more significant degrees of improvement prevails across studies. Studies including PD patients with volume loss deformities or indentation(s) focus on curvature improvement and do not gauge improvement in these girth loss or indentation features specifically. PD patients with calcification may benefit from CCH, however, critical analysis of included study designs and results compared to placebo do not lend for strong support of CCH in PD at this time. Conclusion: Based on the most recent research, the use of CCH in the acute phase of PD and patients with ventral penile plaques may be effective and safe. The limited available research on the efficacy of CCH on calcified plaque(s) and curvature greater than 90° is promising, however, more research is needed to ensure safety and success in this patient cohort. Finally, the current literature continues to show the use of CCH is not effective in PD patients with volume loss, indentation, or hourglass deformity. When expanding the use of CCH to patients not originally included in the IMPRESS trials, providers must prioritize minimizing chances of potential injury to urethral tissue. Finally, further investigation is required to determine whether CCH has utility for curvature greater than 90° or calcified plaques, although the limited available literature is promising.
