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
Perineal carcinoma of unknown origin is a rare and aggressive disease, so an early diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential to prevent its progression. We report the first series of cases of perineal carcinoma of unknown origin: (I) a 62-year-old male patient being followed up for a urethral stricture treated with periodic dilations with subsequent development of perineal abscesses and perineal carcinoma; (II) a 67-year-old male patient who consults for urinary discomfort associated with a perineal abscess. Recurrence of the abscess in the first month revealed the presence of an underlying perineal carcinoma; (III) a 78-year-old male patient that underwent urethroplasty with graft with subsequent regimen of periodical dilations. Recurrent formation of perianal abscesses revealed the presence of an underlying perineal carcinoma; and (IV) a 78-year-old male patient with history of in situ penile carcinoma treated by glans resurfacing. He consulted for penile pain, and imaging tests revealed a perineal abscess adjacent to the left corpus cavernosum. The core needle biopsy revealed a squamous cell carcinoma. Penile exploration and negative glans biopsy ruled out possible recurrence of penile carcinoma. The form of presentation of the disease has been very similar in all patients, demonstrating the presence of perineal abscess in all cases. Two patients had inguinal lymph node disease at diagnosis. All patients were treated by surgery, and three of them required adjuvant systemic treatment. Surgery combined with systemic treatment is probably the best option if the patient's conditions allow it.
