Paraffinoma of the penis following subcutaneous paraffin injections: a case report and surgical management.

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
Paraffinoma of the penis is a rare but potentially debilitating consequence of subcutaneous mineral-oil injection for penile enlargement. We report a 34-year-old male who presented after failed urethral catheterization with diffuse penile induration and pain during intercourse, following self-injection of paraffin into the preputial region. Clinical assessment and penile ultrasound with color Doppler supported the diagnosis; histology confirmed sclerosing lipogranuloma without malignancy. The patient underwent complete degloving, radical excision of infiltrated tissues, and reconstruction using full-thickness skin grafts harvested from the right biceps and left thigh. Postoperative care included compression dressings and targeted antibiotics, with satisfactory graft take and acceptable cosmetic outcome at 10 and 40 days. Persistent dissatisfaction with penile size highlighted the need for integrated psychological assessment alongside surgical management.
