Penile Carcinoma Secondary to Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans and Its Compounding Resultant Pathologies: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 57-year-old African-American male presented with urinary retention secondary to a history of balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) concurrent with penile carcinoma. BXO, characterized by chronic, sclerosing inflammation of the male external genitalia, presents significant clinical challenges due to its progressive nature and potential for complications. The patient experienced recurrent episodes of urinary retention, leading to multiple hospital visits and disease progression, prompting a comprehensive evaluation and intervention. The patient's medical history revealed a complex array of comorbidities, including penile carcinoma secondary to BXO, urethral strictures, and meatal stenosis. Clinical assessment, including bedside bladder ultrasound and laboratory investigations, confirmed urinary retention secondary to urethral stricture, necessitating urological consultation. Management strategies involved Foley catheter placement, urethral dilation, and pharmacological interventions for pain management. Subsequent follow-up and imaging evaluations identified an increased risk of carcinoma development, highlighting the importance of surveillance and early intervention in patients with BXO. This case report highlights the intricate clinical manifestations and therapeutic considerations encountered in managing BXO and its associated pathologies.
