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

Post-traumatic priapism in the paediatric population poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Cavernous blood sampling is not well tolerated, and diagnostic uncertainty hinders management decisions. We present the use of Colour Doppler Ultrasound (CDU) to provide a definitive diagnosis of high-flow priapism and identification of an embolisation target which was then successfully embolised with gelfoam slurry with no clinical recurrence or complications at 6 months. Penile CDU is a reliable tool to diagnose arteriocavernous fistulae in children. Although conservative management remains first choice, safe and effective treatment of high-flow priapism in children can be achieved with gelfoam embolisation and identification of an embolisation target can aid the decision-making process.
