Case report and literature review: Primary leiomyosarcoma of the penis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant spindle-cell mesenchymal tumor originating from the smooth muscle cells, which mostly affects soft tissues and abdominopelvic organs over extremities. Primary LMS of the penis is a relatively uncommon mesenchymal tissue disease and a poorly understood condition. Case Report: A 69-year-old man presented with a growing, painless mass protruding from the penis. The irregularly lobulated lump was roughly 3 cm × 2.5 cm, with a smooth surface, tough texture, distinct boundary, and no tenderness. It was determined to be a penile tumor during the preoperative radiological evaluation. The patient underwent resection of the penile mass, followed by extended resection in the second operation. The diagnosis of LMS was verified by pathological examination. During a 20-month follow-up, the patient made a smooth recovery and remained disease-free. Conclusion: An immunohistochemical examination is essential for rendering this rare diagnosis. Radical excision of tumor lesions with negative cut margins is guaranteed to be the best treatment for primary penile LMS. Close follow-up should be provided due to the high rate of local recurrence.
