Primary hypospadias repair outcomes: results from a retrospective cohort of 292 children.
Article in World journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeHypospadias surgery is challenging. Numerous techniques have been described with variable complication rates. The main objectives of our study were to evaluate the urethroplasty complication rate of primary hypospadias repair and to identify risk factors for complications.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of all patients who underwent primary hypospadias repair in our department between January 2012 and December 2020. Demographic, anatomical, operative, and postoperative data were reported. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables associated with complications. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
resultsOf 292 patients, 203 (69.5%) had distal hypospadias, 63 (21.6%) had mid-penile hypospadias, and 26 (8.9%) had proximal hypospadias. The mean age at the time of surgery was 22.8 months. Seventy-eight patients (26.7%) had urethroplasty complications. The rate of complications was higher for proximal hypospadias (57.7%), onlay island flap (44.4%), and Koyanagi (75%) procedures. The mean follow-up duration was 29 months. Two predictors of complications were identified by multivariate analysis: catheterization duration and urethroplasty technique. The reoperation rate was 30.5%.
conclusionUrethroplasty complications frequently occur after primary hypospadias repair. The complication rate was higher in proximal hypospadias. Catheterization duration and surgical technique were significant predictors of complications. A longer and more standardized follow-up is needed for a better assessment of hypospadias repair outcomes.
