Clitoroplasty: A variant of the technique by Acimi.

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
objectivesTo evaluate the mid-term results of clitoroplasty through the reduction of the length and diameter of the corpus cavernosum, as well as the volume of the glans. PATIENTS AND
methodsFrom October 2003 to July 2015, we performed 29 clitoroplasties using the described procedure. The median (range) age of the patients was 18 (3-47) months. After surgery we evaluated the volume of the clitoris, the appearance of glans, and its sensitivity to light touch, pressure, and pain.
resultsThe length of the apparent part of the glans remained large (>10 mm) in four patients (14%), was an average size (between 5 and 10 mm) in 11 (39%), and small (<5 mm) in 13 (46%). The length of the corpus cavernosum was <20 mm and its diameter <5 mm in all cases. The sensitivity of the reduced clitoris to touch, pressure and pain seemed normal in all patients. In addition, we never found the circumflex arteries and nerves of the penis (on histological examination of excised pieces of corpus cavernosum) in all children operated on during the first 3 years of life. The circumflex arteries of the penis begin to develop, only after the fourth year. This anatomical finding is an argument for performing clitoroplasty at an early age to avoid any risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.
conclusionsThe sensitivity of the clitoral glans appeared to be normal in all cases, with a good cosmetic appearance of the external genitalia in most patients.
