Leukemic penile ulcer as the presenting symptom of chronic lymphatic leukemia.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in the West, with an incidence of 4.2 per 100 000 population. Penile prepuce involvement at presentation, as the first manifestation of CLL, is extremely rare. We have seen a 69-year-old male patient who presented with a non-healing ulcer on the foreskin of the penis for 6 weeks. Biopsy revealed the diagnosis of small lymphocytic lymphoma. His hematological work-up uncovered an underlying CLL. He was treated with acalabrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, resulting in complete remission after 7 weeks. In the vast majority of patients with CLL, the disease primarily involves bone marrow, peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleen; extramedullary and extranodal involvement is rarely seen. This case highlights the importance of keeping leukemic involvement into consideration in patients with penile lesions, as it can be the first manifestation of underlying CLL.
