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 case series presents four cases of extreme proximal internal corpus cavernosum (EPICC) penile fractures. Patients, aged 33-53, presented with penile trauma primarily during sexual intercourse, exhibiting atypical symptoms sparing the penis but with significant perineal and scrotal bruising. Diagnosis was confirmed via penile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealing fractures at the penile base. All patients underwent surgical repair through a midline perineal incision, with no long-term complications reported. This series highlights the value of MRI for diagnosing atypical fractures and supports a perineal surgical approach for optimal exposure and repair in EPICC fractures.
