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 33-year-old male presented with a one-centimetre lesion at the penoscrotal junction which was excised and revealed to be an epithelioid sarcoma (ES). A wide local excision of the lesion and subsequent neoadjuvant radiotherapy followed, with transposition of the patient's testicles laterally to protect fertility. At 3-year follow-up, the patient has no local or distant recurrence but does have a low sperm count. The patient has also had intermittent haematospermia since his treatment for which a cause has yet to be identified. This case highlights that ES of the penis can be managed successfully with surgical excision and local radiotherapy.
