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

Inflatable penile prosthesis implantation is generally safe, but delayed bilateral proximal corporal perforation is rare and poorly characterized. We report a case of delayed bilateral proximal corporal perforation after multiple prior IPP revisions, successfully managed with revision surgery using extracapsular tunneling to create a new proximal intracorporal tract for cylinder repositioning. The patient had complete resolution of perineal pain, appropriate cylinder positioning, and satisfactory prosthesis function. This case highlights factors that may contribute to corporal perforation during IPP surgery and demonstrates extracapsular tunneling as a practical reconstructive technique for managing this uncommon complication.
