Metal urethral stent placement for the management of urethral stricture following phalloplasty: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in urology, 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
Objective: To report the preliminary experience of a case in which a thermo-expandable nickel-titanium shape memory alloy metal stent was utilized for the management of urethral stricture following phalloplasty. Methods: A 51-year-old male patient underwent lower abdominal island flap phalloplasty due to penile trauma. Postoperative recurrent dysuria occurred, and urethrography revealed stricture at the urethral anastomosis site near the penile root. A thermo-expandable nickel-titanium shape memory alloy metal stent was implanted. Results: The patient underwent a successful surgical procedure. One day after the surgery, the urethral catheter was removed, and the patient resumed normal urination. After achieving satisfactory outcomes, the patient recovered and was discharged. During regular follow-up visits after discharge, the patient maintained unobstructed urination without weak urine stream or other discomforts. Conclusions: The placement of a thermo-expandable nickel-titanium shape memory alloy metal stent offers a novel treatment option for patients with urethral stricture following phalloplasty.
