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

In infant and young boys there are numerous (sometimes only assumed) abnormalities of the external genitalia, which may lead to a consultation in a urologists' office. Some are perfectly harmless and require only explanation and reassurance while others require careful consideration and complex reconstruction. Knowledge of the contemporary approaches to these issues, which may have changed considerably over the last decades, are equally important as careful avoidance of generalized statements regarding potential threats to fertility or risks of cancer in future life. The current article aims to give an overview of the most common complaints of the external genitalia in young and adolescent boys.
