Penile fracture after nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy: Case report and review of literature.
Article in IJU case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Penile fractures typically do not occur in patients unable to maintain an adequate erection. Erectile dysfunction is known as one of the major complications of radical prostatectomy, and no cases of postoperative penile fractures have been reported. Case presentation: A 78-year-old male with a history of radical prostatectomy with bilateral nerve-sparing for prostate cancer 12 years ago presented with a penile injury sustained during erection. Clinical examination showed subcutaneous hemorrhage and swelling throughout the penis, and magnetic resonance imaging showed discontinuity of the tunica albuginea. Emergent repair identified and corrected a laceration on the right lateral corpus cavernosum. He reported no complications and could maintain an erection after the surgery. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of penile fracture following radical prostatectomy, as well as the eldest case of penile fracture to date.
