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

Penile prosthesis (PP) is the mainstay of treatment in Peyronie's disease (PD) with co-existent refractory erectile dysfunction (ED). This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent PP as the first-line surgical treatment in PD without ED. A total of 636 patients underwent PP for PD from 2012 to 2022, but only 168 patients who underwent PP as first-line surgical management for PD with or without ED were included in the study. The mean (SD) age of 168 patients was 56.3 years (12.4). The mean curvature of the "PD with ED" group and the "PD without ED" group were 38.2 (5.6) degrees and 42.2 (5.9) degrees. The median (IQR) follow-up was 56.0 months (34.5- 61.4). Most (86.9%) patients underwent 3-piece inflatable PP. An important finding is that 33 patients (19.6%) without ED had undergone PP. Mechanical failure requiring revision surgery was less common in the 'without ED' group than in the ED group (6.8% vs. 10.2%, p 0.04). Most PD patients without ED (87.9%, 29/33) and with ED (88.9%, 120/135) were "satisfied" after PP implantation at six months, as defined by a score of ≥4 on a 5-point Likert scale. If surgery is offered in PD, PP may be considered a safe and effective first-line surgical treatment regardless of the ED, given the acceptable complications and high satisfaction rates. However, this new concept warrants further research.
