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 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare malignancy that is more prevalent among immunocompromised individuals. Given that the tumor primarily originates along the penile shaft, it typically affects the anterior urethra. In contrast, primary urethral cancers (PUC) more commonly involve the posterior urethra. The imaging features of penile SCC and PUC often overlap, making the pattern of urethral infiltration a key factor in distinguishing between these 2 conditions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in local staging and in identifying the patterns of urethral involvement. We present the case of a 40-year-old man diagnosed with penile SCC following a kidney transplant and prolonged immunosuppressive therapy. This case illustrates the rare occurrence of penile SCC with posterior urethral involvement, as demonstrated through MRI findings. This case sheds light on the possible atypical penile SCC urethral involvement. We aim to highlight its significance for clinicians and radiologists regarding the absence of similar diagnostic imaging illustrations of penile SCC with such a posterior urethra infiltration.
