1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Diphallia, also known as penile duplication, represents a highly unusual congenital abnormality of sex development, occurring in 1 in every 5 million to 1 in thirty million live births. Wecker, in Bologna, Italy, noted the first instance of diphallia in 1609. Meanwhile, no sufficient report has meticulously described the incidence in Indonesia. Generally, this condition is accompanied by duplication or malformation of other organs, such as the urinary tract, anorectal, or vertebrae, whether uncomplicated or complex; therefore, appropriate imaging is paramount to identify the related anatomical structures in order to provide prompt and pertinent management. A wide variety of imaging modalities can be conducted to elucidate this malformation, from the conventional procedure, namely urethrography ultrasound to assess the vessels, to advanced examination, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to capture the anatomy around the lesion distinctly. Comprehensive imaging enables the surgeon to evaluate and understand the complexity of the anatomical builds. This case report will illustrate diphallia from conventional and advanced perspectives concomitantly of a boy presenting with a hereditary anomaly of 2 penises, each conveying a functional urethra, 2 anal dimples, with a presacral mass between them.
