Outcomes of Hypospadias Repair Based on Surgical Techniques: A 4-Year Retrospective Study.
Article in Research and reports in urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: This study aimed to report the outcomes of hypospadias repair performed at a tertiary-level hospital during 2018 to 2021. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 119 patients was performed. Results: The most frequent coronal hypospadias cases were distal. However, the most common scrotal hypospadias cases were proximal. The average age at the time of the first surgery was 2.4 years (standard deviation, ±2.3 years). The tubularised incised plate technique was performed for 57 of these 119 patients. Urethral fistula was the most common complication associated with distal and proximal cases (23.96% and 30.43%, respectively). No significant correlation was observed between any complication and the surgical technique. Based on the logistic regression model, the duration of urethral stenting was statistically significant (p=0.025), indicating that a urinary catheter duration of more than 5 days resulted in a 2.9-times increased risk of postoperative urethral fistula. Conclusion: Prolonged urethral stenting for more than 5 days may result in subsequent urethral fistula development. Neither the severity of hypospadias nor the surgical technique seems to affect postoperative complications.
