Call the experts: identifying stakeholders in the long-term care of youth with hypospadias.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Long-term follow-up for individuals with hypospadias remains a critical area of need, yet evidence-based guidelines for such follow-up are lacking, and the role of involvement of relevant experts is not yet established. Using our hypospadias-specific health-related quality of life conceptual framework and a subsequent qualitative study of prepubertal males and parents of males with hypospadias, we identified potential priorities for long-term follow-up of youth with hypospadias. Using thematic codes from our patient and parent interviews, we searched PubMed for relevant articles and identified the specialties represented by all the authors of these articles. Our search strategy revealed consistent expertise across HRQOL themes and subthemes, including pediatric and adult urology, health psychology, psychiatry, endocrinology, genetics, and social work. Communication experts, as well as patients and families, were also represented in our literature search. Using these findings, we compiled a comprehensive list of potential stakeholders to inform the development of holistic care guidelines for individuals with hypospadias. By engaging these stakeholders, we aim to develop consensus-based, long-term follow-up guidelines and tools to address the evolving physical and psychosocial needs of people with hypospadias over a lifetime. The use of qualitatively derived thematic codes to search for relevant literature is an accessible approach to identifying relevant stakeholders. These findings underscore the importance of involving diverse, multidisciplinary expertise to ensure comprehensive, patient-centered care in complex genitourinary conditions.
