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

Bone metastasis in prostate cancer are detected by choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with high sensitivity and specificity. We report the case of a patient with previous prostatectomy for prostate cancer who underwent F-choline PET/CT for a recent increased of prostate-specific antigen value and showed focal vertebral uptake suggestive for skeletal metastasis; magnetic resonance imaging revealed unexpectedly a Schmorl's node (SN). False positives on choline PET-CT caused by SN has not be reported in the literature and the present case highlights that this possibility should be considered in case of choline vertebral increased uptake in the patient with prostate cancer.
