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

It is uncommon to find trauma to the flaccid penis in medical practice. We report a case of penile invagination complicated by incarceration of the herniated penis through a defect in the scrotum following manipulation of his flaccid penis. A 7-year old boy presented with his penis herniated and trapped in a defect in his scrotum following penile manipulation of three days duration. His testicles were intact and all his system was normal; there was no feature of psychiatric disorder in the patient, and none in his family. He was resuscitated and appropriate antibiotics given. Under general anesthesia, the hernia was reduced and circumcision performed. He made uneventful recovery and there were no complaints during follow-up. Conclusion: Penile invagination is an uncommon condition which requires urgent surgical intervention to avoid complications, hence the need for this case report in order to highlight the imperative for emergency intervention.
