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 analyze the clinical effect of the Brisson operation modified by a Y-shaped incision in treating adolescent concealed penis.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 27 adolescents with a concealed penis treated with the Brisson operation modified by a Y-shaped incision in our hospital from January 2017 to March 2020.

resultsThe operation went smoothly in all 27 patients. Postoperative foreskin edema occurred in 12 patients and spontaneously resolved within 1 month postoperatively. Two patients developed postoperative retropubic infection. After administering antibiotics and symptomatic treatment, both patients' conditions improved within 1 week. All operations obtained satisfactory results. Postoperatively, when the penis was in a non-erect state, it was clearly exposed without retraction or concealment; thus, demonstrating good surgical results. The prepuce was distributed naturally without obvious accumulation of redundant preputial tissue. The penile scar resembled that after circumcision. The postoperative follow-up period was 6 months, during which no patients developed recurrence.

conclusionThe Brisson operation modified by a Y-shaped incision is effective for treating a concealed penis in adolescent patients. This technique may relieve the pathological abnormalities and retain the penile skin's integrity to the greatest extent with minimal scarring and a satisfactory appearance.
