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

Men are particularly sensitive to penis size, especially those with a deformed or injured penis. This can lead to a strong desire for penis enlargement surgery. Given the ethical sensitivities of the penis, penile implants need to be developed with both efficacy and safety. In this study, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) patch for penile enlargement prepared via cyclic freeze‒thaw cycles and alkaline treatment. The PVA hydrogels treated with 5 M NaOH had the best mechanical properties and stability. A negative Poisson's ratio structure is incorporated into the design of the enlargement patch, which allows it to conform well to the deformation of the penis. In rabbit models, the enlarged patches can effectively enlarge the penis without degradation or fibrosis while maintaining long-term stability
