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

Penile squamous cell carcinoma is a rare diagnosis in the United States; however, the incidence is significantly higher in developing countries. This cancer is categorized into human papilloma virus (HPV)-associated and independent disease. In this article, we present a rare case of HPV-independent penile squamous cell carcinoma. Our patient was a 75-year-old Caucasian male who initially presented with a penile ulcer which was managed with partial penectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient was monitored on surveillance and did not pursue lymph node dissection. He was noted to have recurrence with metastatic disease 5 years after his initial presentation. Due to the aggressive nature of his disease, the patient was admitted to the hospital and treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
