Good outcome of surgical treatment for contaminated penile wound due to a fall from stairs: a case report.
Article in AME case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Penile trauma due to the associated stigma poses a diagnostic challenge. The causes of isolated penile injuries include zipper injuries (mainly in children), falls, burns, during fellatio, self-mutilation (Klingsor syndrome), and rarely purposeful forceful bending of the erect penis (Taqaandan). Delayed management of penile trauma might increase the risk of infection, rarely leading to sepsis acutely or structural and functional disabilities in the long run. We believe our report is the first to contribute data on a patient with a delayed presentation of contaminated penile wound who recovered well with prompt management. Case Description: A traumatic laceration of the penis due to a fall from stairs is extremely unexpected. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old boy who slipped from the stairs and got an isolated American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Grade-1 ventrolateral penile skin laceration. He took home remedies for 10 days before reporting with a contaminated wound. The patient was first managed conservatively with antibiotics [Amoxyclav 625 mg thrice daily (TDS) and Metronidazole 400 mg TDS], wound care, and then treated surgically, helping wound repair. He recovered well after the treatment and retained normal urinary and sexual function. Conclusions: Penile trauma is severely under-reported due to the stigma associated with it. Early diagnosis and prompt management are imperative to limit complications. A detailed history helps to evaluate the exact cause and check out possibilities of sexual assault. Appropriate management in tandem with patient education and an attempt to de-stigmatize the interaction helps favorable long-term outcomes.
