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

introductionPenile fracture is very uncommon urological condition. Sexual intercourse in most areas remains the major causative entity. Diagnosis is merely through clinical history, signs and symptoms. Surgical management has emerged as the gold standard option for penile fracture. CASE PRESENTATION: we present a case of a young man who sustained penile fracture during sexual intercourse. It involved the left corpora cavernosum and early surgical repair was done successfully. DISCUSSION: Penile fracture during sexual intercourse is due to impaction of erected penis against the female perineum. It's mostly unilateral but also bilateral with or without involvement of urethra. Investigations such as retrograde urethrogram, ultrasound, MRI and urethrocystoscopy can be done for assessment of severity of the injury. Early surgical repair of the injury has yield better outcome in both sexual and voiding function.

conclusionPenile fracture being rare urological condition but sexual intercourse has remained the major risk factor. Early surgical intervention is gold standard for its management as it's associated with very minimal long term complication.
