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

objectiveTo assess the clinical efficacy of disposable circumcision suture device (DCSD) in children receiving circumcision.

methodsChildren with phimosis and redundant prepuce undergoing circumcision in our hospital were prospectively enrolled in this study hospital and randomized into DCSD group and conventional circumcision (CC) group. A total of 236 boys were enrolled, including 132 in DCSD group and 104 in CC group. The use of local anesthesia, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative pain scores, penile appearance satisfaction rates, postoperative complications, healing time of the incision, and the overall satisfaction rate were compared between the two groups.

resultsCompared with CC group, DCSD group had a significantly higher proportion of local anesthesia (

conclusionsThe use of DCSD can shorten the operative time and is associated with good tolerance of local anesthesia, less pain, quick recovery, and higher penile appearance satisfaction rates in children receiving circumcision.
