Suprapubic antegrade endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy with great saphenous vein preservation for penile cancer: a stepwise technique (with video).
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 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
objectiveTo assess the feasibility and safety of suprapubic incision antegrade endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy with preservation of the great saphenous vein and its branches in penile cancer treatment.
methodsBetween February 2023 and July 2024, penile cancer patients undergoing suprapubic incision endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy with great saphenous vein and branch preservation were recruited from the Urology Departments of Huai'an First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University and Xuzhou Cancer Hospital. Fifteen patients (mean age: 67.4 ± 8.85 years) were included, all having undergone partial penectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed tumor stages ≥ T1b, and no distant metastasis was observed. In the supine position, a subcutaneous space was created under direct vision, followed by establishment of endoscopic working channels. Dissection encompassed superficial and deep inguinal lymph nodes while preserving the great saphenous vein trunk and branches. Anatomical boundaries were defined as: upper border-line between external ring upper edge and anterior superior iliac spine; outer border-line from anterior superior iliac spine to 20 cm inferior; inner border-medial thigh from pubic tubercle to 15 cm inferior; lower border-line connecting lower edges of inner and outer boundaries.
resultsAll patients underwent successful bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. Mean operation duration was 96 ± 18.8 min, with mean blood loss of 41.3 ± 16.2 ml. Average lymph node yields were 7.3 ± 3.9 (left) and 9.5 ± 4.4 (right). Drainage tubes were indwelling for 7.7 ± 2.0 days, with total drainage volume of 274.7 ± 126.4 ml, and mean hospital stay was 8.7 ± 1.8 days. All wounds achieved grade A healing. Postoperative complications included 1 lymphocele and 1 lymphorrhea, both resolved with symptomatic management. During 9-25 months of follow-up, no cases of wound infection, subcutaneous hematoma, lower limb edema, skin necrosis, or local/distant metastasis were observed.
conclusionsSuprapubic incision antegrade endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy with great saphenous vein and branch preservation exhibits definite therapeutic efficacy and minimal complications, justifying cautious clinical implementation.
