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

Background: Three-piece expandable penile prosthesis implantation is the ultimate means to treat penile erectile dysfunction, and patients can achieve high levels of satisfaction. However, once postprosthetic infection occurs, clinical treatment and care become very challenging. However, the nursing experience about this disease is rare reported. Therefore, this paper documents the nursing experience of a single case involving postoperative infection following penile prosthesis implantation, with the objective of providing a reference for the clinical management and nursing care of similar cases. Case summary: We report the case of a 65-year-old male who developed infection after penile prosthesis surgery. By monitoring the pH value, and temperature and by employing topical probiotics, silver ion dressings, light treatment and other methods used to treat infected wounds, we ultimately assisted the physician in choosing the appropriate wound infection plan for the patient. After 60 days of continuous management, the patient's wound healed. Here, we summarize initiatives for the management of such refractory wounds from a nursing perspective. Conclusion: We summarize the experience in providing nursing care to a patient with a wound infection after penile prosthesis implantation. Our method is very practical and can be applied to similar patients.
