Glans tunnel-based reconstruction with skin flap or lip mucosa graft for distal penile urethral strictures.

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
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of glans tunnel urethroplasty using a pedicled penile flap or lower lip mucosa for glans penis urethral stricture. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 41 patients with urethral stricture at the glans penis who visited our hospital from January 2021 to July 2025. Causes include iatrogenic factors (including prostate hyperplasia surgery, transurethral resection of bladder lesions and catheterisation), a history of hypospadias repair and penile lichen sclerosus (LS), including 14 cases of urethral meatus stricture and 27 cases of navicular fossa stricture. The length of the stricture was 2.0 (1.0, 3.0) cm, the maximum flow rate ( Results: All post-operative outcomes were assessed at 12-23 months (median 20, IQR 19-21). Postoperative Conclusions: Glans tunnel urethroplasty maintaining glans integrity effectively treats urethral meatal and navicular fossa strictures, balancing function and aesthetics.
