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

Penile fracture coexisting with urethral injury is very rare. We present a 35-year-old businessman with complaints of penile pain and a popping sound during sexual intercourse. Examination revealed a deformed phallus consistent with eggplant deformity, blood at the tip of the meatus and suprapubic swelling. A diagnosis of penile fracture coexisting with urethral injury and acute urinary retention was made. Immediate surgical intervention revealed a 1.5 x 0.5cm ventral transection of the mid-bulbar urethral and the right corpus cavernosum. He subsequently had urine diversion via suprapubic cystostomy, repair of ruptured tunica albuginea covering the corpora and urethroplasty over a size 16-FR silicone urethral catheter. Patient did well postoperatively with normal urination two weeks postop following removal of urethral stent. Penile fracture coexisting with urethral injury is a rare but serious urological emergency. Prompt detection and surgical intervention are crucial for a successful outcome.
