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

Metastatic disease to the penile shaft is among the most rare metastatic sites for any neoplasm. We report the case of a healthy 69-year-old Jamaican male who initially presented with classical primary gastric adenocarcinoma. He was subsequently treated in a routine manner with complete surgical resection followed by chemoradiation as per the US Intergroup Trial 0116. Two years later, the patient presented with a chief complaint of dyspareunia. He was found to have a perineal nodule and penile skin thickening. He was ultimately diagnosed with gastric metastasis and treated with chemotherapy and salvage radiotherapy. He was followed up for a further 15 months but was eventually lost to follow-up and passed away.
