Rapid adoption of penoscrotal decompression for ischemic priapism in private practice.
Article in Urology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Refractory ischemic priapism is a difficult to treat clinical entity for which there are a host of shunt procedures identified, but no singular agreed upon technique for surgical therapy. Recent literature describes success using a penoscrotal decompression technique that uses a similar dissection of a penoscrotal penile prosthesis placement. We demonstrate that this technique is easily applicable in the private practice setting as it uses a familiar setup to most general urologists in our case report.
