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

The infrapubic penile prosthesis implantation approach represents a surgical variant to the traditional penoscrotal approach, characterized by a distinctive incision site used to maintain excellent surgical exposure for a penile prosthesis implantation. Its peculiar features include short operative time, minimally invasive nature, low-reported infection rate, and a direct line of sight for reservoir placement; its specific technical challenges include preservation of the dorsal neurovascular bundle, a restricted working space, and a non-negligible learning curve. In the present manuscript, we describe ten surgical tips covering patient selection and positioning, incision placement, fascial dissection, corporotomy and corporal dilation, reservoir dissection and placement, scrotal pump positioning, hemostasis and drain management, intra-operative device testing, tubing routing, and postoperative care. Each tip is supported, where available, by published evidence and is otherwise drawn from surgical experience.
