Penile glans amputation following untrained male circumcision in rural Somalia: A case report of a rare but serious complication in a resource-limited setting Somalia.

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
In many African communities, including Somalia, traditional male circumcision remains a deeply rooted cultural practice. However, when performed by untrained individuals in resource-limited settings, it can result in severe complications. We report the case of a one-year-old Somali boy who suffered complete penile glans amputation after circumcision by a traditional practitioner using non-sterile instruments. The child developed urinary obstruction and swelling, with delayed access to medical care. At a tertiary hospital, reconstructive surgery was unavailable, and referral abroad was required. This case emphasizes the dangers of unsafe circumcision and the urgent need for safer, medically supervised practices.
