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

While thermal injuries to the external genitalia occur less often than burns to the trunk and extremities, such injuries can potentially leave patients with devastating lifelong sequelae. Though much is known about treating burns in commonly exposed areas of the body, there is a lack of agreement concerning the management of genital thermal injuries. In this review, we seek to synthesize the past and existing literature into a clear analysis while reviewing current recommendations and new developments in the management of genital thermal injuries of the penis and scrotum. Specifically, recommendations for managing genital burns are discussed, including the role of urinary and fecal diversion, debridement, use of skin grafts, and flap coverage choice. Finally, less common thermal injuries, such as frostbite of the genitalia, are discussed.
