Nicorandil-induced penile ulceration: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPenile ulceration in older patients is commonly neoplastic or infective. However, there are rarer causes of these ulcerations that we have to exclude. We present a rare complication of penile ulceration secondary to nicorandil, a nicotinamide ester. CASE PRESENTATION: An 86-year-old white British man was referred with a bloody discharge from under his phimotic foreskin and a lump on the shaft of his penis for the past year. He had angina which has been controlled with nicorandil for the past 5 years. A surgical biopsy of the ulcer showed inflammation with no evidence of malignancy. His penile ulceration spontaneously resolved when he stopped his nicorandil treatment.
conclusionsNicorandil-induced ulceration is a rare complication; however, it should not be missed in a clinical setting. If there is any doubt about the cause of penile ulceration, then referral to dermatology or urology for consideration of biopsy is essential.
