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

objectivesTo review and report our local experience in the management of ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

methodsRetrospective review of patients diagnosed with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate in two regional urological centres in Hong Kong during 1995-2009. Clinical information, treatment and outcomes were retrieved for further analysis.

resultsWe identified 19 Chinese patients diagnosed with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Majority of our patients presented with retention of urine and haematuria. At presentation, seven patients were already at an advanced stage with evidence of rectal invasion or distant metastasis. The overall treatment outcome was poor with high failure rate after either local or systemic hormonal therapy.

conclusionWe observed a predilection of this tumour to be locally aggressive, and hence a relatively high incidence of intra-luminal growth and rectal invasion. We observed a high failure rate after either radical prostatectomy or hormonal therapy.
