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

backgroundPenile prosthesis implantation in patients at risk of fecal contamination presents a significant infection risk and is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two male patients (aged 26 and 42 years) with refractory erectile dysfunction following multimodal treatment for carcinoma anorectum. One patient had a permanent colostomy after abdominoperineal resection, while the other developed persistent fecal incontinence following low anterior resection. Both failed conservative therapies and underwent malleable penile prosthesis implantation under strict aseptic precautions, including extended skin preparation, isolation of contaminated sites, double draping, and intraoperative antibiotic irrigation. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no evidence of infection at 3-month follow-up.

conclusionPenile prosthesis implantation can be safely performed in selected high-risk patients with fecal contamination risk when meticulous perioperative infection control strategies are implemented.
