When a non-inflatable implant breaks the penis: A case report of penile fracture due to an unusual penile implant.

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
introduction and importancePenile fracture is a relatively uncommon condition that most commonly results from blunt trauma during sexual intercourse, forced flexion, masturbation, or rolling over. However, other causes are also possible. It is a catastrophic illness to the patient's organic and psychological health. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 43-year-old male patient who sustained a penile fracture due to the presence of a toothbrush implant. No urethral injury was documented. The patient underwent surgical repair, and one month post-surgery, exhibited no deformity and had a normal sexual and voiding function. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Penile fracture is most commonly caused by blunt trauma during sexual intercourse. While it has not been documented in the literature, penile implants may increase the incidence of penile fractures. Clinical examination and urethrography confirmed the absence of urethral injury. In cases where a penile fracture is suspected, the only management is surgical exploration. This approach has resulted in the lowest rate of negative long-term sequelae and does not negatively impact the patient's psychological well-being.
conclusionPenile fracture is a rare but serious condition that can result from the presence of an unstandardized implant. It is not close to the incidence of penile fracture for unstandardized prosthesis as even the standardized implant can get fracture when counter to high velocity. To avoid functional and morphological abnormalities, surgical exploration is recommended as the primary course of treatment.
