Case Report: Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in pediatric glans reimplantation following penile trauma.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. 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
Pediatric penile trauma is a rare urological emergency, and evidence-based guidelines for complex tissue salvage are limited. We report the case of an eight-year-old boy who presented six hours after sustaining a partial ventral glans avulsion. The patient underwent evaluation under general anesthesia followed by delayed surgical reimplantation of the avulsed glans tissue. As an adjunct to surgery, he received ten consecutive sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Post-treatment follow-up demonstrated complete graft integration, excellent cosmetic outcome, preserved urinary function, and no complications. This case underscores the potential of HBOT to enhance graft viability and recovery in the setting of delayed reimplantation. Drawing on prior experience with graft-based reconstruction in complex hypospadias reoperations, HBOT may serve as a valuable adjunct in pediatric penile trauma involving complex tissue loss, offering a promising strategy to improve outcomes in similarly challenging reconstructive scenarios.
