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
Objective: Short penile skin due to excessive circumcision is a complex condition requiring surgical care. The study aims to investigate the effect of full-thickness skin grafting (FTSG) in treating short penile skin. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 24 patients with insufficient penile skin. The included patients underwent full-thickness skin grafting from the scrotum and the groin region in the Genital Plastic Surgery Center between February 2014 and September 2021. Morphology of the penis, length of the penis, complication, and donor area healing status was observed by the authors. Additionally, the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF-5) and the patient's evaluation of penile appearance were investigated. Results: An aesthetically pleasing appearance of the penis was obtained by FTSG in 24 patients. The length of penis was improved after surgery (5.70 cm ± 1.24 cm vs. 6.05 cm ± 1.33 cm, Conclusions: FTSG from the scrotum and inguinal skin provides good aesthetic and functional results for treating short penile skin. FTSG, particularly the scrotum-derived skin graft, offers a great supplement to penile skin. It could be suggested as a promising method of treating insufficient penile skin, which meets both functional and aesthetic needs.
