Multi-parametric MRI without artificial erection for preoperative assessment of primary penile carcinoma: A pilot study on the correlation between imaging and histopathological findings.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of non-erectile multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for preoperative assessment of primary penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Method: Twenty-five patients who underwent surgery for penile SCC were included. Preoperative mpMRI without artificial erection was performed in all patients. The preoperative MRI protocol consisted of high-resolution morphological and functional sequences (diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI perfusion) covering the penis and lower pelvis. T and N staging, according to the 8th edition of the Union for International Cancer Control TNM classification, as well as the largest diameter and thickness/infiltration depth of the primary lesions were determined in all patients. Imaging data were retrospectively collected and compared with the final histopathology reports. Results: Very good agreement was observed between MRI and histopathology for the involvement of corpus spongiosum ( Conclusions: Good concordance was observed between MRI and histopathological findings. Our initial findings indicate that non-erectile mpMRI is useful in preoperative assessment of primary penile SCC.
