Penile Septal Haematoma: A Case Report and Narrative Review of a Rare Urological Condition.
Article in Cureus, 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
Penile septal haematoma is a rare form of penile trauma characterised by localised blood accumulation within the intercorporeal septum, without complete tunica albuginea rupture. Unlike classic penile fractures that present with a 'popping' sound, immediate detumescence, and significant swelling, septal haematomas usually manifest more subtly, with penile discomfort, a palpable mass, or delayed curvature. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound are crucial in distinguishing septal haematomas from other conditions, including Peyronie's disease and penile neoplasms. Treatment options range from conservative management to surgical intervention, though there is no established consensus on best practice. This report presents the case of a 34-year-old male with a penile septal haematoma following sexual intercourse, illustrating the diagnostic and management considerations. As high-resolution imaging becomes more widely utilised, earlier detection may lead to improved patient outcomes. However, further research is needed to determine optimal treatment strategies and assess long-term functional outcomes. Recognising penile septal haematoma as a distinct clinical entity can aid in early diagnosis and appropriate management, potentially reducing complications such as fibrosis, penile deformity, and erectile dysfunction. This report also reviews the existing limited literature on penile septal haematoma, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies.
