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 COVID-19 pandemic affected millions worldwide. While mainly regarded as a respiratory process, there may be both direct and indirect urologic consequences that are sparsely discussed. This case report describes a patient with a severe COVID-19 infection resulting in a kidney and liver transplant. After recovery, the patient was found to have de novo erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease. We suspect the systemic inflammation and vasculopathy leading to liver and renal failure also caused severe atherosclerotic erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, the prone positioning likely represents an iatrogenic etiology of Peyronie's disease. This unique case demonstrates some important considerations from a men's health perspective when caring for patients following a severe COVID-19 infection.
