Penile resurfacing using a reverse bilateral anterior scrotal artery flap: A case report of penile skin defects following circumcision.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationaleCircumcision is one of the most frequently used surgical procedures worldwide. Extensive penile skin defects, which can occur as a rare but severe complication of circumcision, are serious and frustrating problems for patients who experience them. Procedures for correcting these problems can pose a challenge to plastic surgeons in the clinic. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 31-year-old man was admitted to our care with an extensive defect of the penile skin caused by a circumcision performed 20 days previously. PRIMARY DIAGNOSES: Infection, necrosis, and defects of the penile skin.
interventionsA reverse bilateral anterior scrotal flap was used to correct complete penile skin loss following debridement of the infected and necrotic tissue. OUTCOMES: The patient experienced no complications during the 10-year follow-up period. The patient reported normal erectile function and the ability to perform intercourse. LESSONS: The reverse bilateral anterior scrotal artery flap is suitable for repairing skin defects of the penis and allows for satisfactory cosmetic and functional improvement following defects of the penile skin.
