Preoperative cystourethroscopic evaluation of children with posterior hypospadias.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. 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
Posterior hypospadias is often associated with silent lower urinary tract anomalies that may affect surgical outcomes. Therefore, it is of interest to identify bladder and posterior urethral anomalies using cystourethroscopy. This observational study included 52 children with posterior hypospadias at Dhaka Medical College Hospital over 18 months. All patients underwent preoperative cystourethroscopic evaluation. Enlarged prostatic utricle was observed in 40.3% of patients, posterior urethral valve in 11.5%, and hydrodistention of ureteric orifices in 21.2%. Secondary bladder wall changes were noted in 32.7% of patients. Preoperative cystourethroscopy is essential for detecting lower urinary tract anomalies in posterior hypospadias. It helps guide surgical planning and may reduce postoperative complications.
