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: To assess the outcome of a free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering (BFIC) for the single-stage repair of severe hypospadias in children. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was performed on 40 children with hypospadias who were treated in our hospital from December 2017 to February 2022. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) the patient had proximal hypospadias, or penile curvature over 30° after degloving the penis; and (2) the patient underwent surgery for hypospadias for the first time. A free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering was performed, and all patients were followed up for more than 6 months. Results: After degloving the foreskin, the urethral orifice was retracted to the perineum and scrotum in 20 cases, penoscrotal in 8 cases, and penile in 12 cases. Single-stage repair was achieved without complications in 34 (85%) patients. The remaining six patients experienced postoperative complications: urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in five cases and glans dehiscence with urethrocutaneous fistula in one case. No urethral diverticulum occurred in any case. A neomeatus with a vertically oriented slit-like appearance was achieved at the tip of the glans in all cases, with one exception. Conclusion: The single-stage operation with a free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering in the treatment of severe hypospadias achieves favorable functional and cosmetic outcomes.
