Comparing the analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided caudal block and dorsal penile nerve block in pediatric concealed penis correction surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07615335 (Comparison Between Ultrasound Guided Caudal and Dorsal Penile Block After Hypospadias Surgery in Children, A Randomized Clinical Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: Effective perioperative analgesia is critical for pediatric patients undergoing concealed penis correction surgery. Despite the utility of regional techniques like caudal block (CB) and dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB), evidence comparing their efficacy in this population remains limited. This study aimed to compare ultrasound-guided CB and DPNB for perioperative analgesia in pediatric concealed penis surgery. Methods: In this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 86 children (aged 5-12 years, ASA I-II) were allocated to CB ( Results: The CB group demonstrated significantly lower analgesic requirements (38.6% vs. 71.4%, Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided CB provides superior perioperative analgesia, fewer complications, and higher satisfaction compared to DPNB in pediatric concealed penis surgery, supporting its preference for this specific procedure in clinical practice.
