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

Partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (PSTCC) is a rare urological condition presenting as localized perineal pain and asymmetric corporal swelling. We report a 27-year-old male with subacute penile pain and decreased erectile rigidity following a prolonged erection. The patient had a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showing asymmetrical enlargement with thrombus of the left corpus cavernosum. He was managed conservatively with rivaroxaban and referred for thrombophilia testing, which returned negative. While magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for diagnosing PSTCC, this case demonstrates that contrast-enhanced CT can serve as an effective diagnostic tool in the acute setting, supporting a non-invasive diagnostic and treatment approach.
