Staged phalloplasty in a transgender male: a complex case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a novel local groin flap approach for phalloplasty with minimal visible scarring. The presented patient is a 32-year-old transgender male with a prior metoidioplasty. He desired phalloplasty to optimized standing micturition and sexual function but was unwilling to undergo standard radial forearm or anterolateral thigh due to high visible scar burden. A staged approach to phalloplasty was employed, using a lower abdominal random pattern flap to construct the phallus. Once healed, future stages will create a urethral channel with full thickness skin graft from the thigh to maintain a low scar burden. Although this technique does not provide an option for direct neurotization of the construct, burial of the clitoral structures is expected to provide adequate sexual function. This technique can be considered for patients who do not desire the typical visible scarring with traditional phalloplasty methods.
