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

Scrotal necrosis is a rare complication following inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation. However, the management of aseptic ischemic scrotal necrosis following IPP implantation remains controversial. A 60-year-old male patient with a history of diabetes mellitus underwent implantation of a three-piece IPP. Postoperatively, he developed scrotal skin necrosis. Instead of removing the prosthesis, we performed delayed surgical debridement of necrotic tissue and reconstruction with a pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap to preserve the pump. After 8 months of follow-up, the flap remained viable, the prosthesis functioned normally, and the patient reported satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes.
