Comparison of low-power magnification one-layer vasovasostomy with stent and microscopic two-layer vasovasostomy for vasectomy reversal.
Article in International journal of impotence research, 2020. 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
This study aimed to evaluate a simplified vasovasostomy procedure that shortens the operative time. This was a retrospective (non-randomized) study of men who underwent bilateral vasectomy and consulted for vasovasostomy (02/2014-08/2016). Eight interrupted sutures were used for one-layer full-thickness vasal anastomosis over a 20 or 22 G catheter temporarily inserted in the lumen of the anastomotic site as a stent. Control patients underwent double-layer vasovasostomy. The surgery was significantly shorter in the one-layer group (n = 23) (62 ± 8 vs. 133 ± 15 min, P < 0.001 vs. the two-layer group, (n = 19)). There was no difference in patency between the two groups (95.7 vs. 94.7%, P > 0.999). There was one case of epididymitis in each group. There were no complications like bleeding, scrotal hematoma, hydrocele, or infection. Low-power microscopic one-layer vasovasostomy with stent was simple and had a short operation time. The patency could be similar to that of two-layer vasovasostomy, but prospective studies are necessary for confirmation.
