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

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dorsal plication (DP) in correcting mild-to-moderate ventral penile curvature (VPC) during primary hypospadias repair with urethral plate preservation. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who underwent DP during primary hypospadias repair with urethral plate preservation between January 2018 and December 2021. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on the degree of curvature following degloving: <30° (group 1) and 30° to 40° (group 2). Recurrent VPC, urethral complications, and pediatric penile perception scores were analyzed. Results: Seventy-six patients met the inclusion criteria: 59 in group 1 and 17 in group 2. The incidences of recurrent VPC (1.7% vs. 5.9%; Conclusions: Dorsal plication did not increase the rates of VPC recurrence, urethral complications, or dissatisfaction with penile length in cases with 30° to 40° VPC after degloving. Long-term follow-up with larger sample sizes is warranted to further assess the efficacy of DP.
