Penile Shaft Abscess: A Rare Urological Occurrence.
Article in Cureus, 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
Penile shaft abscess is a rare urological condition characterized by a localized collection of purulent material within the tissues of the penile shaft. Due to its uncommon occurrence, most knowledge regarding this condition is derived from isolated case reports and small case series. Although uncommon, penile abscesses are clinically significant because delayed diagnosis or inadequate management may lead to complications such as penile fibrosis, curvature, erectile dysfunction, or systemic infection. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment are therefore essential to ensure favorable functional outcomes. We present a case report of a 37-year-old male who presented with a penile shaft abscess and was re-treated with intravenous antibiotics and surgical drainage. Recovery was unremarkable, and there was no recurrence of abscess on follow-up a month after surgery, and the patient maintained potency without penile deformity on self-report. The etiology, diagnosis, and management of penile shaft abscesses are discussed.
