1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introduction and importanceColorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 1.93 million new cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed and almost one million global colorectal cancer-caused deaths in 2020. The incidence of colorectal cancer has been dramatically rising at alarming rates worldwide in the last decades. The most often sites of metastases are lymph nodes, liver, lung, and peritoneum. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a rare case of a 63-year-old male patient presenting with a nodule in the penis after being treated for cancer in the hepatic flexure of the colon. Biopsy showed colorectal cancer recurrence in the penis. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Metastasis from colorectal cancer to the penis is rare and poorly discussed, with scarce data in the literature.

conclusionA high level of suspicion should be adopted for the correct diagnosis and early treatment.
