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

Glans hypermobility is a rare complication of penile implant surgery. There is a paucity of available literature on glanspexy treatment as a definitive solution and patients' post-operative satisfaction. We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent glanspexy for real glans hypermobility (RGH) following penile implant insertion at a quaternary referral centre in 2012-2024. Demographic features, surgical techniques and post-operative outcomes were logged. We contacted patients via telephone to conduct a modified Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction questionnaire. Out of 3210 patients who underwent penile prosthesis insertion from 2012-2024, 40 underwent glanspexy. Glanspexy was performed at the time of primary implantation in 22.5% patients and as a secondary procedure in 77.5%. 67.65% of patients were satisfied and 77.78% felt erection shape was better post glanspexy. 76.47% felt the treatment met their expectations. 94.12% of patients agreed they would still choose to undergo the surgery again. Glanspexy done as a secondary procedure, in comorbid patients, after multiple implant revisions or genital/pelvic surgeries results in lower satisfaction. For the small cohort who experience RGH, glanspexy represents a unique opportunity to achieve restorative function of their penile prosthesis with satisfactory outcomes.
