Venous thrombosis, multiple carcinomatous foci and differences in metastatic pathways of penile carcinoma.

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
The aim of the present study was to explore the life-threatening complications and metastatic pathways of penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), as numerous patients with penile cancer are relatively young, are of good general health and have no visceral metastasis, yet have poor survival rates. A total of 94 patients with SCC of the penis who were surgically treated were included in the current study. The coagulation parameters, including prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen and D-dimer, were analyzed. The patients' age ranged from 25 to 95 years (mean ± standard deviation, 53.3±1.4 years). A total of 77 patients (81.9%) underwent partial penectomy and 17 (18.1%) underwent radical penectomy. The PT was significantly different between patients whose tumour invaded the corpora cavenosum and those whose tumour had not invaded, and between patients with and without pelvic lymph node metastasis. A negative correlation was obtained between PT and pelvic lymph node metastasis. In addition, six typical SCC cases and one metastatic penile carcinoma case manifested with multiple carcinomatous foci, embolisms and evidence of a metastatic pathway occurring simultaneously with tumour progression were presented. The present study indicated that venous thrombosis is one of the life-threatening complications of advanced penile cancer. Furthermore, multiple carcinomatous foci were detected in histological images. Of note, direct clinical evidence for different metastatic pathways of primary and secondary penile carcinoma was provided.
