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
introductionThe aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction rates after application of three different tunical shortening techniques - Yachia corporoplasty, Nesbit corporoplasty, and 16-dot plication - in patients undergoing surgery for congenital and acquired penile curvatures.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the postoperative outcomes of 68 patients who underwent penile curvature repair using one of three different surgical techniques between 2010 and 2023 and had been followed up for at least one year. Complications (if any) (e.g., penile shortening, loss of penile sensation, recurrence, presence of nodules, painful erection) and surgical satisfaction levels were assessed through medical records and telephone interviews.
resultsThe mean age of the patients included in the study was 37.34±16.81 years. Yachia corporoplasty was performed in 27 (39.70%), Nesbit corporoplasty in 15 (22.06%), and 16-dot penile plication in 26 (38.24%) patients. There was no difference between the techniques in terms of surgical complications, such as shortening of penile length (p=0.096), loss of penile sensation (p=0.892), recurrence (p=0.302), and presence of nodules at the operation site (p=0.239), while painful erection was most common in the Nesbit corporoplasty group (n=5, 33.33%) (p=0.020). Postoperative dissatisfaction rate was highest in the 16-dot penile plication group (n=6, 23.07%) (p=0.557). There was a negative correlation between satisfaction level and recurrence in the 16-dot penile plication and corporoplasty groups (r=-0.516, p=0.006; r=-0.659, p<0.001, respectively). In addition, a negative correlation was observed between satisfaction levels, shortening of penile length, and presence of nodules in the corporoplasty group (r=-0.482, p=0.001; r=-0.320, p=0.044, respectively).
conclusionsIn patients who underwent penile curvature surgery using penile shortening techniques, low complication and high satisfaction rates were observed in all three corporoplasty techniques. Recurrence, presence of palpable nodule(s), and shortening of penile length are important parameters affecting the level of satisfaction.
