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
Objective: The present study examined the impact of measuring penile girth and length in the erect state on reassuring individuals with small penis anxiety (SPA) in the flaccid state. Methods: This study included 200 potent men aged 25-40 years old. All candidates were assessed by the validated Arabic version of the International Index of Erectile Function (ArIIEF-5), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Beliefs about Penile Size, and Cosmetic Procedure Screening questionnaires. Participants were divided into 100 healthy participants and 100 participants with SPA. We measured penile length and girth in the flaccid state in participants with SPA. After 2 weeks, we measured penile length and girth in the erect state by injecting 0.25 cc diluted prostaglandin E1 (PGE-1) in the corporeal bodies. Also, participants with SPA were reassessed by the ArIIEF-5 and the HADS in the erect state. Results: Penile length in the flaccid state was in the normal range 9.33 ± 0.81 cm that increased to 10.37 ± 0.89 cm in the erect state. The penile girth in the flaccid state was also in the normal range 8.08 ± 0.85 cm that increased to 9.33 ± 0.85 cm in the erect state. Significant decreases in the scores of HADS after PGE-1 injection were noted, denoting improvement in the patient's quality of life. The ArIIEF-5 score insignificantly increased after re-counseling in the erect state. Despite a significant reduction in anxiety and depression levels after re-counseling in the erect state, yet, they did not show any correlation with the penile dimensions in the flaccid and the erect states. Conclusion: Although the current study failed to demonstrate significant correlations between penile dimensions in the erect state and the ArIIEF-5 and the HADS scores. Yet, there was significant decrease in HADS score and insignificant increase in ArIIEF-5 score denoting that men with SPA should be counseled in the erect state.
