1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeWe aim to present a single-center experience using this combined technique for phallic reconstruction.

methodsComplicated circumcision cases referred to our department from June 2015 to May 2024 were reviewed. We identified consecutive cases who had been presented with grade III to V penile injury and subjected to phallic reconstruction by release of the subcutaneous corporal remnant and covering the exteriorized corporal remnant with a full-thickness skin graft and resurfacing of the glans penis by oral mucosa graft.

results37 male children were identified. Age at surgery ranged from 9 months to 7 years, with a mean operative time of 150 min and follow-up of 3 months-5.5 years. Uneventful graft incorporation occurred in 29 patients, with all donor sites healing without morbidity. At 6 months, urethral patency and satisfactory cosmetic outcomes were achieved in all patients. Complications included total skin graft loss in 4 patients, partial skin graft loss in 3, and buccal mucosa graft eschar in 2.

conclusionFenestrated full-thickness skin grafts for the shaft combined with fenestrated oral mucosa grafts for the glans provide a reliable approach to reconstructing severe post-circumcision penile injuries. This technique provides an encouraging aesthetic and functional result.
