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

This paper addresses a confusing issue of preputial anatomy of the mouse. The term "internal prepuce" was used in 2013 to describe a preputial structure integral to the mouse glans penis. Subsequently in 2015 the same term was applied by another group to describe entirely different morphology, generating confusion in the literature. Because it is inappropriate to use the same term to describe entirely different structures, we take this opportunity to provide further descriptive information on the internal prepuce of the mouse employing gross dissection, analysis of serial histologic section sets, three-dimensional reconstruction, scanning electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. For this purpose, we review and illustrate the relevant literature and provide some additional new data using standard morphological techniques including immunohistochemistry. The mouse internal prepuce is integral to the glans penis and clearly is involved in sexual function in so far as it contains a major erectile body innervated by penile nerves. The development of the mouse internal prepuce is described for the first time and related to the development of the corpus cavernosum glandis.
