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

purposeTo examine the possible prognostic factors in patients with penile cancer after surgical management and to identify the independent predictive factors of the prognosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsClinical data of 135 patients with penile cancer who underwent surgical management in two medical centers were collected. Follow-up data were available for 103 patients. Possible prognostic factors including patient's age; smoking or not; course of disease; phimosis or not; type of surgery; tumor stage; nodal stage; tumor grade and pathological lymph nodes metastasis were retrospectively analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses with Cox regression.

resultsFive-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) and 1-year CSS were 88.5 and 98.1%, respectively. Univariate Cox analysis revealed that nodal stage and pathological lymph nodes metastasis were significant prognostic factors. Multivariate Cox analysis revealed pathological lymph nodes metastasis was the independent predictive factor of the prognosis.

conclusionPathological lymph nodes metastasis is the independent predictive factor worsening the prognosis in patients with penile cancer.
