Hydrophilic inflatable penile prosthesis surface coatings readily rebind antibiotics and maintain antimicrobial efficacy ex vivo.

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
Hydrophilic penile prosthesis (PP) surfaces removed during revision surgery may potentially rebind antiseptics and maintain antimicrobial efficacy ex vivo. Coloplast Titan reservoirs and cylinders were retrieved during revision surgery for mechanical failure. Congo Red staining and contact angle measurements were performed to evaluate the integrity of the hydrophilic surface. Fluorescent antibiotic binding was performed by submerging discs for 3 min in either fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled or unlabeled vancomycin at 2 mg/mL. Fluorescence was quantified via ImageJ. 8 mm discs were submerged for 3 min in normal saline (NS), 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate, or a 2 mg/mL vancomycin and 160 μg/mL gentamicin (VG) antibiotic, then incubated with 10
