Penile Strangulation by Four Stainless Steel Rings Requiring Multiple Approaches for Removal: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: Penile strangulation is a rare urological emergency requiring prompt intervention. Stainless steel rings may resist conventional cutters because of their rigidity. Case Presentation: A 62-year-old man presented with severe penile pain after applying four stainless steel rings to treat phimosis. One ring was trapped at the coronal sulcus and three at the penile base. The glans was congested with partial blistering. Initial attempts using the string method and manual ring cutters failed. Aspiration of approximately 10 mL of blood from the glans allowed removal of the distal ring. The remaining rings required general anesthesia, corporal blood aspiration, temporary penile-base compression, partial cutting of one ring, and manual decompression. All rings were removed within approximately 6 h after application. No clinical evidence of urethral injury was found, and no sensory disturbance was noted. Conclusion: A stepwise approach may be required for penile strangulation caused by multiple stainless steel rings.
