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

backgroundHypospadias is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the external genitalia of boys. No single technique can be recommended for the repair of hypospadias in its various forms. We aimed to compare modify meatal advancement glandular with release chordi versus Snodgrass surgical methods in the repair of distal hypospadias.

methodsIn this study, conducted from Apr 2018 to the end of Sep 2020, all boys who underwent one of the two methods of Snodgrass and modify meatal advancement glanuplasty with release chordi in Imam Khomeini and Abuzar Hospitals of Ahvaz, Southern Iran, were enrolled.

resultsForty-five patients underwent Snodgrass (group S) and 55 patients underwent modified meatal advancement glandular with release chordi (group M). The mean age of patients and duration of surgical wound healing in the two groups did not differ significantly. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of complications, including Bleeding, Hematoma, Meatus stricture, Wound infection, detachment of the wound edge, chordi after surgery, Balanitis and Urethral stricture but the incidence of fistula in patients undergoing Snodgrass repair was significantly higher than the group modify meatal advancement glandular with release chordi (P<0.05).

conclusionThe method of modify meatal advancement glandular with release chordi compared to Snodgrass method is associated with fewer complications due to surgery, although further studies are recommended.
