In which cases of proximal hypospadias detailed investigations are necessary.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in physical examination and radiologic findings of patients with proximal hypospadias in terms of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) groups. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe ages, physical examination and radiological findings and diagnoses of the cases aged 0-18 years who were admitted to our hospital due to proximal hypospadias between 2005 and 2022 and whose male gender was determined because of their evaluation for DSD were evaluated.
resultsThe study population included 43 patients with a median age of 4 months (1 day-14 years): 19 presented with penoscrotal, 13 with scrotal, and 11 with perineal hypospadias. All cases exhibited severe ventral chordee, with micropenis observed in most patients. 46,XY DSD represented most cases, followed by sex chromosome DSD, 46,XX DSD, and other karyotype anomalies. Most patients in the DSD group had undescended testes and/or micropenis. Penoscrotal hypospadias was seen only in the 46,XY DSD group and no uterine remnants were seen in this group.
conclusionPatients with proximal hypospadias accompanied by undescended testis and/or micropenis should be evaluated in detail before any surgical intervention. We believe that especially in cases with scrotal and perineal hypospadias should be investigated for possible uterine remnants.
