Penile Prosthesis Implantation in a Patient With Post-polio Residual Paralysis and Pelvic Deformity: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Penile prosthesis implantation is the gold-standard treatment for men with erectile dysfunction refractory to conservative therapies. Surgical implantation may become technically challenging in patients with significant musculoskeletal deformities because altered pelvic anatomy can affect patient positioning and corporal access. We report the case of a 50-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus and post-polio residual paralysis associated with fixed pelvic deformity who presented with severe erectile dysfunction refractory to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and intracavernosal injections. A Shah malleable penile prosthesis was successfully implanted through a penoscrotal approach despite difficulties related to pelvic tilt and altered corporal orientation. Careful patient positioning, meticulous corporal dilatation, and intraoperative modification of the surgical technique enabled successful implantation without complications. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at four weeks, the patient demonstrated satisfactory wound healing without evidence of infection, erosion, or device-related complications and reported satisfaction with the early surgical outcome. This case highlights the technical considerations required during penile prosthesis implantation in patients with post-polio musculoskeletal deformities and emphasizes that successful outcomes can be achieved with appropriate preoperative planning, careful surgical technique, and individualized perioperative management.
