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

This study aimed to review the current knowledge on priapism in the paediatric and adolescent population through a review of the current literature. Priapism is defined as a prolonged and persistent penile erection lasting over 4 h, unassociated with a sexual stimulus or persisting after ejaculation and orgasm. It has an incidence of 0.3-1.5 per 100,000 per annum in males of all ages, and comprises 3 main types: ischaemic, non-ischaemic and stuttering. The most common cause of priapism in children is sickle cell disease, and these individuals usually have the ischaemic type of priapism, which is a true urological emergency. We discuss in this article the management pathways for children and young adults, with the main emphasis being on accurate diagnosis and emergent management. Erectile dysfunction is the main consequence of delayed management.
