Trends and attitudes towards paediatric circumcision in the South of Ireland.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPaediatric circumcision is one of the oldest surgical procedures performed worldwide. Traditionally performed by general surgeons, paediatric surgeons and urologists, there is a falling trend in the rate of paediatric circumcision being performed by adult and paediatric general surgeons. There is currently no corresponding contemporary data pertaining to trends and attitudes of general surgeons to paediatric circumcision in Ireland.
aimThe aim of this study was to assess the trends and attitudes of consultant general surgeons, and to assess its potential impact on the specialist delivery of paediatric urological care.
methodsA questionnaire was mailed to all practicing general surgeons in whom we identified as having a potential role in the management of paediatric circumcision. Data pertaining to population demographics within the south of Ireland were accessed through the Central Statistics Office.
resultsThere was an 89 % response rate to the questionnaire survey. Seventy-seven percent of those under 50 were trained in adult circumcision compared with 100 % of those respondents over 50 years. There was a significant difference in paediatric circumcision with only 24 % those under 50 performing this procedure compared with 68 % above 50 years. Eighty-six percent respondents under 45 years (35 % over 45 years) felt that this procedure should be carried out by urology.
conclusionIn a region with an expanding paediatric population, it is crucial to maintain paediatric urological services. Given present trends and attitudes of newer appointed general surgeons, it is essential that further specialist appointments are made, and funding directed towards demand in order to keep pace.
