A Rare Presentation of Penile Calciphylaxis Requiring Partial Penectomy.

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
Calciphylaxis is a rare disease and carries high morbidity and mortality rates. It's characterized by microvascular calcification and occlusion, which leads to a life-threatening disease characterized by skin necrosis and ulceration. Calciphylaxis is classified as uremic, which occurs in patients with end-stage renal disease and who are non-uremic. Non-uremic calciphylaxis is an even rarer disease that occurs in patients without end-stage renal disease and has a high mortality rate secondary to sepsis. The most common risk factors are diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism, malignant neoplasm, warfarin-based anticoagulation, alcoholic liver disease, and autoimmune disorders. The management includes wound debridement, pain management, and sepsis control. We report a case of penile calciphylaxis in a 36-year-old male with a 15-year history of type II diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. He presented with penile ulceration, which rapidly progressed to necrosis. He also had skin necrosis, characteristic of penile calciphylaxis. The patient has perished of multiorgan failure secondary to severe septic shock.
