Phallus Reconstruction Using the Third Finger Transplant Method: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
There are many methods of phallus reconstruction, often requiring the use of prosthetics and multiple-stage interventions. The unique method discussed in this case report uses a finger complex in order to create a neourethra as well as act in place of the prosthesis, thus offering a one-stage intervention with the restoration of full biomechanical functions of the phallus and no need for revision surgeries. We present a patient, a 52-year-old male, who had previously undergone a subtotal penile resection due to oncological disease. In our clinic, he then underwent a phallus reconstruction surgery using a third finger from a non-dominant hand and radial forearm flap. After the surgery, he was able to regain full biomechanical functions of the phallus within a month as well as achieve adequate tactile and erogenous sensitivity.
