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

Objective: Concealed penis is a common congenital genital abnormality. This study aimed to introduce a penile reconstruction method for concealed penis, namely the modified Devine procedure, and evaluate its safety and efficacy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 80 consecutive patients with concealed penis, who underwent surgical correction between May 2019 and May 2023 in our department. All patients underwent a modified Devine procedure. Data on the patients' age, body mass index, operative time, blood loss, preoperative and postoperative penile lengths, and postoperative complications were collected and analyzed. Results: All operations were successful. Patients had a mean age of 10.30 (standard deviation [SD] 1.07) years and a mean body mass index of 20.26 (SD 2.26) kg/m Conclusion: The modified Devine procedure for concealed penis achieved clinically safe and effective penile reconstruction outcomes, as well as satisfactory cosmetic appearance. Given its favorable results and minimal complications, this surgical approach appears to be a promising surgical option for selected patients with concealed penis.
