Penile metastasis in prostate cancer patients: Two case reports, surgical excision technique, and literature review.
Article in Current urology, 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
Two cases of penile metastasis from primary prostate cancer in a single center are presented, along with a literature review and description of the excision technique. Despite its rich vascularization, penile metastasis is rare, with 72 new cases from September 2006 to March 2021. There is a wide variety of diagnoses, treatments, and prognoses for penile metastatic lesions. Ga-68 prostatespecific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging tool for detecting metastasis from primary prostate cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging of the penis is the most reliable technique for differentiating penile lesions. Histological diagnosis is mostly performed using fine-needle biopsy aspiration. Metastasis-directed treatment is not considered to contribute to prolonged survival. Local treatment is feasible and can be offered to symptomatic patients. Owing to a heterogeneous group, defining overall survival is difficult. Survival until 46months after detecting penile metastases is described.
