What are we missing with fungal infection? - preventive role of surgical hoods in inflatable penile prosthesis surgery: a case report and literature review.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Fungal infections after inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery are uncommon but clinically significant due to their association with prosthesis loss and reoperation. While antifungal prophylaxis has been proposed as a preventive strategy, supporting evidence remains limited and inconsistent. At our institution, perioperative antifungal agents have never been part of the IPP protocol. Among 1772 cases performed without antifungal use, we encountered a single fungal infection caused by Meyerozyma guilliermondii, which matched the operating surgeon's otitis externa isolate. Following this event, we implemented routine use of surgical hoods that fully cover the ears and scalp for all scrubbed personnel. Since then, over 1535 IPP procedures have been performed without a single fungal infection. Based on this experience and a review of relevant literature, we propose that surgical hoods that fully cover the ears and scalp may offer a simple, cost-effective, and underutilized means of reducing fungal contamination during urologic prosthetic surgery.
