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

Patients with skeletal metastases from all sites are increasing in number as the treatment protocols for primary tumors improve survival of patients with cancer. While diagnosis and follow-up of the patient with urologic skeletal metastasis continue to become more sophisticated with new MRI techniques and the advent of positron emission tomography, the goal of orthopedic treatment remains the same: pain relief and maintenance of mobility. This paper describes the pathogenesis of metastasis followed by strategies currently available for accurately diagnosing, treating, and following the patient with skeletal metastases secondary to urologic malignancy.
