Improving patient satisfaction and anatomical fit: a retrospective study on the purse-string suture-assisted disposable circumcision suture device.

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
Background: The disposable circumcision suture device (DCSD) faces significant limitations in anatomical adaptability. We developed a novel technique integrating the adjustable purse-string suture (APSS) from proctology to address this unmet need. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of APSS-DCSD for circumcision. Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed 93 consecutive patients undergoing circumcision (December 2023-January 2025). Non-randomized allocation stratified patients into: the APSS-DCSD cohort (n=45) and conventional DCSD cohort (n=48). Outcomes measure included operative time, blood loss, complications (frenular injury, infection), intraoperative pain (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS), patient satisfaction, and healing time. Results: No significant intergroup differences were observed in blood loss (median: 3.2 Conclusions: The APSS-DCSD approach significantly improves anatomical precision and patient satisfaction without compromising safety margins. Its standardized protocol demonstrates particular utility in complex anatomies, warranting prospective multicenter validation.
