Two laterally based scrotal pedicled flap grafts in the treatment of penile skin necrosis due to ring incarceration: a case series.

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
Introduction: The rise in the incidence of penile ring incarceration has led to additional cases of ischemic necrosis of the penile skin. Two laterally based scrotal pedicled flaps (LSPFs), noted for their rich blood flow and skin source, resemble penile skin and are the preferred donor sites for repairing such necrosis. Aims: This study summarizes the outcomes of 2 LSPF grafts for the treatment of penile skin necrosis. Methods: Data were collected from 5 patients with penile skin necrosis due to ring incarceration who sought treatment at Ankang Central Hospital between 2012 and 2023. Results: All patients exhibited varying degrees of necrosis in the urethral corpus cavernosum and the penis's anterior tip. Two LSPFs were used for wound repair, with direct suturing of the donor site. None of the 5 patients experienced flap necrosis postsurgery, and they regained normal urination function. The patients reported satisfaction with both the aesthetic and functional results. Conclusion: Two LSPF grafts are an effective approach for repairing penile skin defects. They reliably cover necrotic penile skin defects, prevent further wound progression, preserve penile structure, and improve patients' life quality.
