Case Report: Isolated male epispadias in adult: a rare case report.
Article in Frontiers in urology, 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
Introduction: Isolated male epispadias is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by dorsal urethral displacement, typically corrected during infancy. Cases presenting for the first time in adulthood are exceedingly rare and pose unique challenges regarding surgical reconstruction and psychosexual well-being. Case presentation: A 35-year-old continent male presented with a dorsal midshaft urethral meatus and associated chordee, seeking correction prior to marriage. The patient underwent a modified Cantwell-Ransley procedure, involving degloving, chordee excision, and ventral transposition of the urethral plate. Postoperative recovery was noted for transient minor glans necrosis, which healed spontaneously. At the three-month follow-up, the patient achieved a functional result with a peak flow rate () of 16 ml/s and an IIEF-5 score of 22/25. Conclusions: Surgical correction of isolated epispadias in adulthood is feasible and offers significant benefits. The modified Cantwell-Ransley technique is a reliable approach for restoring anatomical integrity and sexual function.
