Case Report: An extremely rare penile shrapnel injury.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Penile shrapnel injuries are an exceedingly rare occurrence and a medical emergency. Herein, we present a case of penile shrapnel wounds in an adolescent male and discuss the management and complications associated with penetrating injuries to penile. We reported that an 18-year-old Chinese armed police soldier underwent debridement, shrapnel removal and suturing under spinal anesthesia. Six days postoperatively, he was discharged from the hospital smoothly. The patient reported normal erectile function and urination following discharge. With a follow-up of three months, the patient exhibited no symptoms of dysuria or erectile dysfunction. It is explicitly stated that prompt surgery intervention described in this report resulted in optimal prognosis. Penile shrapnel injury is a rare phenomenon typically associated with emergency drill and military training involving explosive shells. With regard to penetrating penile injury, timely surgical exploration is essential because it avoids penile plaque formation, penile fibrosis and angulation, and accelerates the return to erectile and urination function.
