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

Monkeypox (mpox), caused by mpox virus (MPXV) infection, reemerged in 2022 and still raises concerns globally. Abundant clinical data indicate that mpox is a sexually transmitted infection and that the urogenital system is the most frequently involved system in mpox, which deserves more attention. Penile lesions are the most common presentation, followed by urethritis. Acute urine retention and acute kidney injury are relatively rare but also highly crucial. Currently, the majority of the urogenital lesions are considered complications secondary to MPXV infection and the common immunosuppression in mpox patients. However, such viewpoints should be treated carefully due to the lack of understanding of the basic mpox pathology. Here, we briefly and comprehensively review the current evidence concerning urogenital lesions caused by mpox, including epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, and therapeutic approaches to provide a preliminary reference for clinicians in future clinical practice.
