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: This study aims to compare and analyze the differences in clinical efficacy and quality of life between the modified Brisson surgery and the traditional Devine surgery for the treatment of concealed penis (CP). Methods: This comparative study recruited 120 children with CP admitted to Baoding Hospital, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, from March 2023 to July 2024. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group, with 60 cases in each group. The experimental group received the modified Brisson surgery, while the control group received the traditional Devine surgery. The surgical outcomes, penile length before and after surgery, incidence of postoperative complications, and changes in quality of life were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results: The response rate in the experimental group was 100%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (93%), with a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: The modified Brisson surgery offers several advantages in the treatment of CP, including good treatment outcomes, a high response rate, a low postoperative complication rate, and significant improvements in quality of life indicators. These benefits make it a valuable approach worthy of promotion in clinical practice.
