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 cancer is a rare genitourinary malignancy for which limited treatment options exist beyond primary surgical resection. Metastatic lymphadenopathy represents a particularly poor prognosis with a lack of literature to suggest the effectiveness of radiation or systemic therapies. Our case documents an inguinal recurrence of penile squamous cell carcinoma not amenable to surgical intervention demonstrating complete response to salvage radiotherapy in the palliative setting. These observations propose the need for further research around the utility of radiotherapy in the management of metastatic penile malignancies.
