Scrotal calciphylaxis in a fifty-one-year-old man with end-stage renal disease and prior bacteremia.
Article in Urology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Isolated, ischemic scrotal lesions are an uncommon manifestation of systemic calciphylaxis. This highly morbid disease seen in patients with end-stage renal disease and other risk factors for small vessel calcification results in tissue necrosis and ulceration. Scrotal calciphylaxis is uncommon and difficult to diagnose in patients with comorbid conditions that cause isolated genital skin lesions, including prior systemic infections. We describe a 51-year-old male with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis and recent history of bacteremia who developed isolated penile and scrotal ulceration due to calciphylaxis. The patient died two months after presentation despite multidisciplinary care.
