Innovative Technique for Single-Stage Phalloplasty with Complete Urethral Reconstruction for Micropenis and Perineal Hypospadias.

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
In a 20-year-old male patient born with micropenis and urethral opening in the perineal region, total phallus and bulbar portions of the urethra were reconstructed in a single stage using the radial artery forearm flap. The penile reconstruction followed a tube-in-tube design, and for the bulbar urethral reconstruction, an additional length of radial artery forearm flap was designed and reinforced with deep fascia of the forearm. Gracilis muscle was harvested from the opposite thigh and used to reinforce the urethral anastomotic site. The descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery was chosen to vascularize the reconstructed urethra and penis, using this vessel as the recipient, giving a distinct advantage over the deep inferior epigastric or femoral vessels. To the best of our knowledge, this technique of total penile and urethral reconstruction in a single stage has not been described in the literature, and this would be a useful technique in the armamentarium of penile reconstruction.
