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
introductionMedian raphe cysts are rare benign lesions of the male genitalia that can develop anywhere along the midline from meatus to anus. They are believed to be caused by a defect in closure of median raphe during embryonic development. These cysts commonly appear in childhood or adolescence, although some are diagnosed after middle age, typically triggered by infection or trauma. Pigmented median raphe cysts, or those containing melanin pigment and/or melanocytes, are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 78-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of a penile mass that he first noticed in his 50s which slowly grew, eventually causing voiding difficulty. He had no history of infection or trauma. The lesion was excised, and the pathological diagnosis was pigmented median raphe cyst.
conclusionWe successfully treated a rare case of pigmented median raphe cyst of the penis that developed after middle age without infection or trauma history.
