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

A 66-year-old man presented with macrohematuria. Cystoscope examination found a 5 mm nodular tumor at external urethral orifice and multiple papillary tumors at fossa navicularis of urethra; those are non-black colored. Transurethral resection of the urethra tumor was performed, and pathologically diagnosed as malignant melanoma. Image examinations showed no lymphadenopathy and metastasis. Accordingly, total penectomy was conducted to remove the remaining tumors, resulting in surgically curative resection. After the operation, monthly interferon-β injection into inguinal region has been administered as adjuvant therapy, resulting in no recurrence at 6 months after penectomy.
