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

An increasing number of men with healthy and normal penises want to enlarge their penis. Therefore, this review evaluated the mental health status of men who complained of a small penis and examined the state of nonsurgical and surgical treatments for male patients seeking penile enlargement, along with a risk assessment for each. Various medical, tractional, injectable, and surgical modalities have been investigated for penile augmentation. However, the development of new products and surgical techniques, such as Penuma, and tissue engineering may yield fewer complications, good operative effects, shorter operative times, and high patient satisfaction, bringing hope to patients interested in penile enlargement.
