3 M antimicrobial incise drape combined with MEBO in wound recovery of postoperative hypospadias surgery.
Trial report in International urology and nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of different dressing methods in wound healing and the postoperative outcome in children who underwent hypospadias repair.
methodsAltogether 109 children with distal hypospadias who underwent urethroplasty were recruited from our hospital between January 2021 and March 2023. All patients were randomized in two groups according to the different dressing methods: Group A receiving 3 M antimicrobial incise drape + MEBO (moisture-exposed burn ointment) and Group B receiving absorbent dressing + elastic bandage dressing. The age at surgery, operation time, bleeding during the dressing, postoperative changes in glans color, dressing fell off, comfort of children during the dressing, difficulty in dressing removal, and degree of pain during dressing removal were compared between the two groups.
resultsDifferences in age at surgery (p = 0.337) and operation time (p = 0.055) were not significant between the two groups. The overall effectiveness of the dressing was better in Group A than that in Group B. Only five cases in Group A had blood leakage after dressing (p = 0.006), and there was no dressing dislocation (p < 0.001) or glans color abnormality (p < 0.001). Moreover, the number of complication cases was less. The overall comfort and pain degree during dressing removal in Group A was better than that in Group B (p < 0.001).
conclusionPostoperative dressing using 3 M antimicrobial incise drape + MEBO can achieve lower incidence rates of bleeding during dressing, postoperative glans darkening, and dressing falling off, a lower pain degree during dressing removal, and a better overall comfort level than those of the control group. This method is cost-effective and clinically safe, which contributes to the postoperative recovery of children with hypospadias and is thus worth promoting and applying.
