A low-cost simulation model for priapism detumescence training.
Article in Journal of the colleges of medicine of South Africa, 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
Ischaemic priapism is a urological emergency requiring prompt intervention to prevent complications such as erectile dysfunction. Because of its low incidence, opportunities for hands-on training are limited, particularly in resource-constrained settings. To address this gap, we developed a low-cost, anatomically realistic simulation model to train emergency medicine and urology trainees in needle aspiration techniques. Constructed from readily available materials, the model replicates the anatomical and hepatic characteristics of priapism and was successfully integrated into a structured training programme for emergency medicine registrars. Although not formally evaluated, trainee feedback indicated improved procedural skill and confidence. The constructed reusable trainer offers an accessible and effective educational tool to enhance clinical preparedness, especially in low-resource environments. Further studies are needed to evaluate its impact on training outcomes.
