Prostate cancer metastasis to the distal phalanx of the left hallux: The first confirmed case and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Prostate cancer is one of the most common carcinomas in Asia, as well as all over the world. The vast majority of prostate cancer patients present with bone metastases, which mainly involve the axial bones, with pain as the most common symptom. The present study reports the first case of prostate cancer metastasis to the hallux in a 73-year-old man who presented with pain and a swollen phalanx of the left hallux. This symptom developed gradually over a period of several months and could not be improved with the common treatments. Due to a pathological fracture, amputation of the left phalanx was performed. Notably, the immunohistochemical examinations of the surgical sample demonstrated the presence of a metastatic lesion from prostate cancer. The present study describes an unusual presentation involving phalangeal metastasis in a prostate cancer patient, and a systematic review of reported cases of rare metastatic events in prostate cancer is also discussed.
