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

purposeUrologic prosthetics offer significant quality of life enhancements for patients with stress urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Artificial urinary sphincter and penile prosthesis are the most commonly used prosthetics for these patients. Radiographic imaging offers important insight, guiding treatment when patients present with complications. Herein, we pictorialize normal radiographic findings and complications alike.

methodsWe reviewed our IRB-approved prosthetics database, highlighting patients with prosthetic complications with available imaging. We collected imaging from patients without complications for baseline reference.

resultsThe radiographic appearance of orthotopic genitourinary prosthetics and a review of short- and long-term complications including hematoma, infection, malpositioning, leak and erosion are pictorialized.

conclusionRadiologic imaging serves as a vital complement to history and physical examination, aiding in the identification of complications and potentially streamlining surgical preparations. It is important for radiologists to familiarize themselves with standard prosthetic nomenclature, normal positioning and appearance, along with imaging findings of common complications.
