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

Urethral prolapse is a rare and often underdiagnosed condition characterized by circumferential eversion of the distal urethra through the external urethral meatus, forming a doughnut-shaped protrusion. We present the case of a 34-month-old girl who was brought to the pediatric emergency unit by her parents following the discovery of bloodstains on her underwear. Clinical examination revealed a reddish, fleshy, doughnut-shaped mass measuring approximately 2.0 × 1.5 cm surrounding the urethral meatus, located above the vaginal introitus and beneath the clitoral hood. She was managed conservatively with oral cefixime suspension (4 mg/kg/day), ibuprofen, sitz baths, and topical estrogen cream. By the fourth day, the bleeding had completely resolved. The prolapsed mass was significantly reduced in size after two weeks and resolved entirely by the sixth week, without residual symptoms. This case highlights the importance of considering urethral prolapse as a differential diagnosis in cases with vaginal bleeding in prepubertal girls.
