Penile Calciphylaxis: Two Clinical Cases and a Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Penile necrosis secondary to calcification of medium- and small-caliber arteries supplying the organ is a rare and serious condition. It often occurs in patients with multiple comorbidities, carries a high mortality rate, and has a poor prognosis. We present two cases of male patients with multiple comorbidities who developed penile calciphylaxis. Both patients underwent various treatments, including total penectomy in one case and palliative management in the other. One patient declined surgery and was lost to follow-up, while the other required multiple surgical procedures due to infectious complications. A review of the literature suggests no clear survival benefit between surgical and conservative management. Therefore, surgical treatment should be reserved for cases with disabling pain or advanced infections at risk of severe complications.
