A meta-analysis comparing dorsal plication and ventral lengthening for chordee correction during primary proximal hypospadias repair.
Synthesis in Pediatric surgery international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeRecurrent chordee (RC) is an important complication of proximal hypospadias repair. In this meta-analysis we compared RC incidence following dorsal plication (DP) versus ventral lengthening (VL).
methodsWe searched the databases to identify all papers between 2001 and 2021 pertaining to proximal hypospadias and recurrent chordee. Duplicate publications, review articles and incomplete articles were excluded. Meta-analysis of heterogeneity was reported with I
resultsA total of 17 articles were included covering 582 patients. The I
conclusionFor correction of severe ventral chordee during primary proximal hypospadias repair, dorsal plication carries a higher risk of recurrence compared to ventral lengthening procedures.
