Vasectomy reversal utilizing fibrin glue.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Over 500,000 men in America have a vasectomy annually; 2% to 6% of these individuals later elect to have a vasectomy reversal. Vasovasostomies are typically performed using a single- or double-layer closure, with no demonstrated difference between the two in terms of success rates. In 2005, Ho et al described a microscopic technique in which three full-thickness sutures are used and the anastomosis is reinforced with fibrin glue. At our institution, a similar technique has been used for >10 years. To describe our experience, a retrospective chart review was undertaken. Patient demographic information and operative characteristics were analyzed. In each case, fibrin glue was circumferentially applied to reinforce the anastomosis. The overall patency rate was 88.4%, and rates comparing individuals who had their vasectomy reversal within 10 years of vasectomy reached statistical significance with an odds ratio of 2.91 (
