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 metastasis from bladder cancer is extremely rare and often presents as part of multiple distant metastases. However, no established standard treatment exists for a solitary penile metastasis. We report an 83-year-old male diagnosed with a solitary penile metastasis two years after radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Histopathological examination revealed a solitary tumor within the corpus cavernosum consistent with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The patient underwent total penectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and has remained recurrence-free for seven years. This case illustrates the potential effectiveness of combining radical surgery and chemotherapy in managing a rare penile metastasis from bladder cancer.
