Advances in activation pumps for three-piece penile prostheses: a narrative review.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 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
The evolution of penile prosthesis pumps marks a significant milestone in the management of erectile dysfunction. Originating in the early 1970s, the development of multi-component hydraulic penile implants by Dr. F. Brantley Scott, Dr. Gerald Timm, and Dr. William Bradley laid the foundation for modern penile prostheses. Since the late 20th century, continuous advancements in inflatable penile prostheses have been introduced by various manufacturers, focusing on enhancing usability, minimizing complications, and improving patient satisfaction. These refinements have particularly emphasized the importance of pumps, critical to device functionality and overall patient experience. Recent innovations in prosthesis technology underscore the progress made in surgical techniques and the integration of advanced materials, leading to better clinical outcomes and heightened user satisfaction. This paper reviews the historical development, technological advancements, and current trends in penile prosthesis pumps. Although numerous studies have examined pump-related complications and patient satisfaction, a more comprehensive and systematically designed prospective research initiative is needed to investigate these challenges further.
